This event was an open discussion with survivors of childhood trauma and professionals working in the Early Years sector, education, health, addiction and homeless services about the desirability of raising public and political awareness of the prevalence and impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in Ireland and the need for a collaborative cross sector trauma-responsive approach for better individual and societal outcomes.

There were contributions on the adverse experience of class, attachment and Infant Mental Health, supporting parents with experience of interpersonal trauma, manifestations of trauma in the school setting, ACEs in the Travelling Community, being a child in the care system, the long-term impact of child sex abuse, Open Dialogue as an approach to mental health, the role of the community in building resilience, the importance of being calm to thrive and homelessness as a symptom of childhood trauma.
