Discover the background and Neuroscience behind the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study and the importance of being Trauma-Responsive.
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have lasting emotional and health consequences for children that can continue to manifest into adulthood. The Relationship Foundation introduces the Trauma-Informed and Trauma-Responsive Education approach. It focuses on Relationship Education as an essential element of building resilience. These skills and knowledge can be applied with the family, in the workplace, in schools, and in other settings.
A Trauma-Informed School fosters an atmosphere of emotional and physical safety that can alleviate the effects of ACEs.

When something happens in our outer world that has a strong emotional charge, the brain takes a snapshot of it, which is called a memory. Certain memories are activated under stress that have us revert to early childhood behaviors. Learning about one’s ACEs helps to put such instances into perspective so we can respond in a more measured way. Mental health awareness is vital.
