CDC invites you to explore Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences, a new online training to help understand, recognize and prevent ACEs.

ACEs affect children and families across all communities. They can have long-term effects on health, wellness and life opportunities for adults. The good news is ACEs are preventable.

Training topics to develop knowledge and insights to prevent ACEs include:

  • Adverse Childhood Experiences, Brain Development and Toxic Stress
  • The ACE Study
  • Prevalence and Consequences of ACEs
  • Risk and Protective Factors for ACEs
  • Essentials for Childhood: Assuring Safe, Stable, Nurturing Relationships and Environments

Learn more about how to create healthier lives for all children in this accredited training. Continuing Education Units are available.
