HHS Partnership Center Summer Webinar Series - ACEs: The Role of Life Experiences in Shaping Brain Development

Childhood experiences, both positive and negative, have a tremendous impact on our lifelong health and opportunity. So, 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 curriculum Building Strong Brains: The Role of Life Experiences in Shaping Brain Development. 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.

Visit https://www.tn.gov/tccy/tccy-aces for additional ACEs resources. Building Strong Brains is supported by an investment of the Tennessee Department of Health and its partners including the School of Social Work, University of Memphis. Also see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) We Can Prevent ACEs video!
