Presentation:
This presentation will focus on the ACE Framework which is designed to promote an understanding of the significance and potential of ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) education. Understanding N.E.A.R (neuroscience, epigenetics, adverse childhood experiences, and resilience) will be a focus of this presentation. The ACE Study is the largest study of its kind with over 17,000 participants. The data collected from this study has the potential to change the public health crisis our nation is facing. This presentation will be about discovery, about hope, about our future. The action to prevent ACEs will be the largest public health discovery of our time. This presentation will discuss how our action to prevent ACEs, will profoundly impact our future.
Both presenters (Jana Frye and Dr. Pam Clary) are trained Master ACE Trainers by Dr. Rob Anda, one of the co-principal investigators of the ACE Study.
