Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
Do you regularly help people who have had Adverse Childhood Experiences or a history of trauma?

In this workshop for new and advanced professionals, you will learn:
- Types of trauma and how it impacts your client's present day experiences and behaviour
- How you can provide trauma-informed services or trauma-specific services

"Excellent! It was really an engaging process. I was not able to attend it live but did the two sessions on two different evening as it fit into my schedule. I would absolutely recommend it. I think it definitely allows for much more flexibility to attend on your own schedule and as you time allows. I am happy to be able to print off a certificate that I can use the hours towards ACSW credits, which is so valuable."

Some positive items I'd like to share: access to the site after training for the hand outs, a reminder to access our items we needed before the date closed and the QUIZ was available for Education credits as we are always looking for this as Social Workers. Thanks! "
