Time: 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. PST
This webinar will discuss the role of ACEs as a contributor to developing problem behaviors during adolescence and adulthood. ACEs occur as a result of trauma, i.e., violence, abuse, neglect, loss, disaster, war, and other emotionally harmful experiences. More and more communities are adopting a trauma-informed approach to prevent and treat the impacts of ACEs and the consequential problem behaviors, including substance use/misuse. SUD prevention interventions are more effective when implementation occurs before risk factors negatively impact behavior, which is why many prevention interventions are targeted at middle school and high school students. ACEs are a widespread, harmful, and costly public health problem and have no boundaries with regards to age, gender, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, geography, or sexual orientation.
Join CPI for this informational webinar session and learn more about the following:
1. Defining ACEs and their relationship with the social determinants health, trauma, and health inequities;
2. Understanding the impact of ACEs on SUD
3. Selecting data sources that identify vulnerable populations at higher risks for ACEs; and
