Description
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is pleased to announce that it will host “Handle With Care – Understanding the Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on Development, Learning, and Relationships”. Traumatic experiences in childhood and teenage years may put children at risk for violence, chronic health problems, mental illness, and substance abuse in adulthood. ACEs can have lasting, negative effects on health, wellbeing in childhood and life opportunities, such as education and job potential, well into adulthood. Children growing up with toxic stress may have difficulty forming healthy and stable relationships. The good news is that ACEs are preventable. This webinar will explore the impact of childhood trauma as well as ways to find and create protective factors to mitigate the impact of ACEs.
