ACEs: The Role of Life Experiences in Shaping Brain Development

Webinar: Thurs., Aug. 9, 2018, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. ET

Childhood experiences, both positive and negative, have a tremendous impact on our lifelong health and opportunity. So also, early experiences are an important public health issue. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can put young people at significant risk for substance-use disorders and can impact prevention and substance use recovery efforts.

Reserve your spot for this one-hour training by public health experts in Tennessee on their "Building Strong Brains" curriculum. It’s an insightful approach community and education leaders can implement to increase protective factors and reduce the impact of ACEs for children and adolescents. A certificate of completion will be provided to participants who take the entire webinar training.

"Building Strong Brains" is supported by an investment of the Tenn. Department of Health and its partners including the School of Social Work, University of Memphis. (More ACEs resources and CDC video, " We Can Prevent ACEs.")
