Educators invited to attend Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) training May 8
Project AWARE has teamed up with the Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) of Tulare County to offer a free, virtual training on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). This training provides valuable insight into the impact of ACEs and how the community
can foster resilience, healing, and support for those affected.
Open to professionals working with youth and families, and community members seeking to make a difference, the training offers tools to help attendees understand ACEs and their long-term effects, build approaches to support students affected by ACEs, apply strategies to foster their resilience, and create safer, supportive environments.
The training will be held Thursday, May 8 from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. via Zoom. To register, visit https://tulare.k12oms.org/146-263941.
