ACE: Building resilience in the face of adverse childhood experiences

Participants will:
- Understand the effects of ACEs on children and adults
- Explore links between ACEs and issues such as substance misuse, domestic abuse, and mental health
- Reflect on what constitutes a “good” childhood
- Learn how to build resilience in children and young people
- Gain confidence in supporting those affected by early trauma
