This conference offers a high-quality learning, networking, and resource sharing opportunity for anyone interested in the prevention of child abuse and neglect and the promotion of child and family well-being. Attendees include professionals of all levels in the fields of child welfare, education, healthcare, mental health, childcare and more as well as community stakeholders such as parents and caregivers, guardians ad litem, elected officials, and others.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that occur in a child’s life. Science shows the strong relationship between the adversity we experience as children and negative health and well-being as adults. By better understanding ACEs, what they are and how they can manifest themselves years later, communities can work to prevent future abuse and improve outcomes for South Carolina’s children and families.
Duration: 2 hours
Protective factors are conditions in families and communities that, when present, increase the health and well-being of children and families. They serve as buffers, helping parents who might otherwise be at risk of abusing their children find resources, support and coping strategies so that they can parent more effectively, even under stress.
The ACE Study confirms, with scientific evidence, that adversity during development increases the risk of physical, mental, and behavioral problems later in life. The ACE Study and other research using the Study’s framework have taught us that ACEs are the leading cause of health and social problems in our nation – the most powerful determinant of the public’s health.
The Understanding ACEs and Building Resilience Training-of-Trainers is a two-day training designed to equip new trainers with the information and skills they need to facilitate this curriculum and to become part of a statewide network of trainers.
Children’s Trust will provide participants with a standardized PowerPoint as well as access to optional information, activities, and exercises to tailor the content to desired audiences. After the training, trainers will gain access to continuing support from Children’s Trust and will be expected to meet annual requirements.
Duration: 2 days
