Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): A One-Day CPD Workshop

Join us for an engaging and insightful workshop designed to deepen your understanding of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their profound impact on mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This CPD-accredited training is ideal for professionals working in therapy, education, healthcare, or social services who wish to enhance their skills and knowledge in this crucial area. Take the opportunity to expand your professional development while making a meaningful difference in the lives of those impacted by ACEs.

Workshop Overview

• Explore the Science Behind ACEs: Learn about the original ACE study and its findings, including the links between childhood trauma, long-term health outcomes, and resilience.
• Practical Application: Gain tools to identify and address ACEs in your work, fostering healing and promoting resilience in children, families, and adults.
• Trauma-Informed Practice: Understand how ACEs shape behaviours and responses, and develop strategies for creating safe, supportive environments.
• Interactive Learning: Participate in case studies, discussions, and reflective exercises to deepen your learning and integrate it into your practice.

By the end of the workshop, you will have a greater understanding of how to recognise the signs of ACEs, the impact they can have across the lifespan, and how to respond effectively to support positive change.
