Objectives:
1) Participants will understand the key concepts of the nervous system and how it interrelates with experiences, both positive and negative, and how people adapt.
2) Participants will understand key components of the Adverse Childhood Experiences study and how to utilize the data to support communities.
3) Participants will become familiar with core protective systems and the importance of communities and support.
The NEAR Science explores the Neurobiology, Epigenetics, ACEs Study and Resilience. We know that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can increase risks of long-term physical, emotional and social disparities; however, we also know that protective factors can support children, adults and families and decrease those risks. This training explores how life experiences impact our biological nervous system. It takes a deeper dive into the ACEs Study and how to interpret the results to find best fit practices to increase the Core Protective Factors of building capabilities, increasing attachment and belonging, and fostering the growth of community, culture and spirituality.
