“ADVERSITY’S IMPACT: INSPIRING RESILIENCE”

This interactive presentation will initiate a conversation on the impact that adverse childhood experiences (ACES) has across the lifespan. Youth with trauma navigate chaotic surroundings, insecure attachment styles, and intergenerational transmission of abuse and neglect patterns. Current attachment research coupled with collaborating findings in neuroscience confirms the role relationships play in providing youth with the protective factors needed to thrive and be successful.
