This training has three components. Part 1 covers the biological mechanisms by which experiences and trauma affect human development. Part 2 introduces the concept of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and provides data about the frequency of ACES and the later health outcomes associated with exposure to childhood trauma. Part 3 introduces a multilevel model of resilience and discussion of personal, relational and community-level interventions to support positive outcomes for all people. This workshop will also help people apply these concepts to their work at GVSU.

Mechanisms by which experiences affect human development including neurodevelopment & epigenetics
