When children experience traumatic events, it can have lasting effects on their mental health and wellbeing. These events, called Adverse Childhood Experiences, can have profound effects on community health. Studies show that 26% of adults have experiences at least one ACE, while 1 in 8 adults experienced 4 or more adverse childhood experiences. This trauma increases the likelihood of developing chronic diseases. Join the Rappahannock Area Community Services Board (RACSB) for this ACE Interface training to raise awareness of the impact of ACEs on learning and ways we can foster individual and community resilience.
