Palm Beach Gardens, FL (PRWEB) April 14, 2016
Center for Child Counseling has received a two-year grant from Quantum Foundation, the largest health funder in Palm Beach County, to support their "Fighting ACEs" initiative, a trauma-informed model based on neuroscience that is working to heal the impact of toxic stress for babies and young children, while building the capacity of adults in the community to address this issue.
The Center for Child Counseling team will use the Quantum Foundation grant to fund prevention and early intervention efforts including direct services to children and families as well as educational training for teachers, child care workers, police officers, area nonprofits, foster care homes, and other professionals who work with children on how to recognize signs of Adverse Childhood Experiences and combat toxic stress in children. The goal being to create a system wide network of adult “buffers” who are trauma informed and “ACEs Aware.”
