SUMMARY:ROCK Mat-Su: PACES & Raising Resilience (In-Person Only)
DESCRIPTION:ROCK Mat-Su will combine both PACES and Raising Resilience training!\nLunch will be provided\nPlease register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988938721256?aff=oddtdtcreator\nPositive and Adverse Childhood Experiences (PACES):\nThis part of the presentation is open to ADULTS interested in learning how to identify and counteract Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to help develop resilient kids.\nFrequent or prolonged exposure to stress can create toxic stress which can damage the developing brain of a child and overall health. A Survival Mode Response to toxic stress increases a child’s heart rate\, blood pressure\, breathing\, and muscle tension. Their thinking brain is knocked offline. Self-protection is their priority. In other words: “I can’t hear you! I can’t respond to you! I am just trying to be safe!”\nLearn how resilience trumps ACEs!\nParents\, Teachers\, and Caregivers can help by:\n– Gaining an understanding of ACEs and how they affect children’s social\, emotional\, and cognitive abilities and their connection to a wide range of health problems throughout a person’s lifespan.\n– Creating environments where children feel safe emotionally & physically.\n– Helping children identify feelings & manage emotions\n– Creating a safe physical & emotional environment at home\, in school\, and in neighborhoods.\n– Share ways to build resilience. \nRaising Resilience Presentation:\nThis will include information from a 2019 Johns Hopkins study on the effects of positive childhood experiences. Despite growing up with adversity\, positive experiences buffer the trauma and promote healing.\nLearn ways to foster healthy growth and development in children that correlate to stronger adult mental health and overall wellness. \nQuestions or special dietary needs?
