Chris Soderquist, an expert with the Centers for Disease Control, will present on the high cost of adverse childhood experiences and how community strategies have the best chance of reducing their effects, according to an announcement.
Soderquist has developed a pilot tool he calls the Cost Savings Learning Lab, designed to engage communities in the discussion.
Business operators are invited to attend.
