Positive childhood experiences are foundational to healthy brain development. Importantly, early childhood experiences have the potential to influence a child’s health and well-being across the lifespan. In this workshop we will be discussing the background of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and the power of positive childhood experiences through resilience, relationships, and trauma informed care. Evidence-based strategies to reduce the impact of ACEs and ways to promote wellness in children will be shared along with group discussions.
