The single biggest public health discovery of our time plays out in our schools on a daily basis. Students who have experienced significant traumatic events may have difficulty with relationships, learning in the school environment, or significant behavioral problems. Without understanding this dynamic, schools may inadvertently negatively impact these children.

A national organization called ACE Interface has put together information to share with others on the impact of ACEs on children and families. In this presentation, attendees will gain a better understanding of what ACES are, their impact on the body and mind, and what you can do to limit the impact of these experiences on your students.

Participants will:
1. Understand how ACEs effects learning and classroom behavior
2. Understand how resiliency factors can mitigate the impact of ACEs
3. Put into place structures that meet the needs of kids with trauma
