It Takes a Village: Understanding Child Abuse, Its Impact on Learning and Mental Health, and Bringing Awareness of the ACEs Study explores how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) affect brain development, behavior, academic performance, and long-term health. Grounded in research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente, this session explains the ACEs Study and its implications for educators. Participants will learn how trauma impacts learning, how to recognize possible warning signs in students, and how trauma-informed practices and strong relationships can serve as protective factors. Through research and personal insight, this session empowers educators to create safe, supportive environments where students can succeed despite adversity.
