Intended Audience
Please join Healthy St. Mary's Partnership's Violence, Injury & Trauma Action Team in partnership with the Wellness Center on Wednesday, March 27th, 2024 to learn more about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) or traumatic experiences that occur during childhood and the long-term impact they have on an individual's mental, emotional, and physical health. Research shows that higher levels of ACEs in a person's childhood are associated with increased risks for additional trauma and specific health issues in adulthood. Understanding and addressing the effects of ACEs can lead to early interventions and support for children and families who have experienced trauma. This panel of health professionals and community members will discuss strategies for prevention, intervention, and resilience-building in St. Mary's County.
