SUMMARY:Presentation: ACEs & Trauma Sensitive Practices (Online)- CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:This FREE presentation is open to ADULTS who are interested in learning how to identify and counteract Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to 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.

Parents\, 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 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. \nQuestions?\nPresentation Content Contact: michelle.boyden@matsuk12.us \nEvent Details Contact: candrews@rockmatsu.org \nZoom Meeting Information\nMeeting ID: 612 709 2270\nPasscode: ROCK\nLINK: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/6127092270?pwd=Zi8vSG01ekNLeHBRSWdtdGxLOEx3dz09\nOne tap mobile: +14086380968\,\,6127092270#\nDial: +1 408 638 0968\nToll-free: 888 788 0099
