February 19: Introduction to Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences (PACES)

ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) are traumatic events that occur in childhood and can have an impact throughout our lives. PCES (Positive Childhood Experiences) buffer the impact of ACES.

Attendees of this workshop will learn about the landmark ACEs study, ACEs and health problems, and what steps can be taken to increase positive and protective factors to decrease risk factors for youth.

Extension Extras for Professionals is a collection of free online series of childcare workshops that provide guidance for early childhood professionals and caregivers of young children. Trainings are eligible for MIRegistry hours.

Certificates for participation are provided upon completion of the class.

Participants have the option to attend and actively participate via computer, or an app on a tablet or smartphone. Attendees can also listen to the presentation via phone (by calling in). Those who choose to call in must contact the instructor for directions on how to be eligible for a certificate.

If multiple people in the same location want to participate in the webinar and need certificates, they have to join the webinar separately or contact the instructor for special instructions to each receive a certificate.
