Without intervention, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can create long-term physical, mental, and behavioral risks. The good news is, healthcare providers have a unique opportunity to prevent and respond to ACEs in their clinical settings, using evidence-based tools and trauma-informed strategies that promote family resiliency.
Futures Without Violence, a grantee of the ACEs Aware initiative, is providing online training that enables Medi-Cal providers to earn an ACEs Aware certification. (Note: those who are NOT seeking ACEs Aware certification are also welcome to attend any and all sessions.)

- Session 1 (on-demand): Addressing ACEs and Toxic Stress: Understanding CUES to Support Families and Patients
- Session 2 (November 15 @ 1pm): Increasing Staff Capacity: Trauma-Informed Care Begins with Health Care Providers & Staff
- Session 3 (November 17 @ 1pm): Equity & Trauma-Informed Practices Are Essential to Our ACE Work With Families
