Tuesday, August 23, 2022, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
Category: National Training or Event
Register Here!Our nation’s children are under stress.

In addition, more than 200,000 American children are now orphans, having lost a parent or primary caregiver to the pandemic. The number of families experiencing hardships, including unemployment, food insecurity, and housing instability, increased during the pandemic, with a disproportionate impact on Latino and Black communities. Compounding these stressors are the adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) that most children experience at least once in their lifetime, such as neglect and abuse. Trauma experienced during childhood can have a lasting impact on health and well-being. At least five of the leading causes of death are associated with ACEs. This webinar will explore actionable strategies to prevent ACEs and programs to support children and break the cycle of adversity. Speakers will discuss:
