Friends, Please join us tomorrow for the start of our two-part series Engaging Faith and Community Partners in Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
These webinars support faith and community leaders addressing the prevention and mitigation of ACEs and their possible impact, including substance use disorders (SUDs), suicide, and other health risks. Join both webinars to hear from experts about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their potential consequences. This two-part series is co-hosted by the HHS Partnership Center and American Muslim Health Professionals with participation from CDC Injury Center, Boys & Girls Club of America, Jewish Family and Community Services and and Stanford Muslim Mental Health & Islamic Psychology Lab.
Part 1: Talking about ACEs: Preventing and Addressing Childhood Trauma
Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2021, 12:00 p.m. EDT
Faith and community organizations are well positioned to increase protective factors for children and young adults. Many are able to support families and a strong start for children, promote social norms that protect against violence and adversity, connect youths to caring adults and activities, and intervene to lessen immediate and long-term harms. Part 1 of this webinar series will increase awareness of Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs) and their long-term harms.
Part 2: Preventing and Addressing Childhood Trauma with Faith and Community Partners
Tuesday, Nov. 16, 12:00 p.m. EST.
Join Part 2 to hear examples of how faith and community groups are integrating prevention of Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs) into their programing and community efforts. Learn the specific evidence-based practices and strategies that have been identified to reduce these events and reduce the severity of the harms associated with them.
*You can choose to attend one or both of the webinars.
