Understanding ACEs: ACE Interface Presenter Training +–
The ACE Interface Presenter Training Program is designed to support rapid dissemination of ACE and resilience science, and promote understanding and application of the science to improve health and wellbeing across the lifespan.
The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study findings represent a paradigm shift in human understanding of the origins of physical, social, mental, and societal health and well-being.
This training cohort will require the completion of a three-day train-the-trainer session taught by ACE Interface Master Trainers, dedicated to spreading the power of NEAR science (neurobiology, epigenetics, adverse childhood experiences, and resilience) and community connection.

FREE Trauma-Informed Technique Tuesday: Safe Place Visualization +–
Based on your feedback, we’ve designed these sessions to provide quick overviews of different trauma-informed tools and techniques that you can implement personally or with clients. This week, we will be learning about safe place visualization. We recommend joining from a quiet, private space and having access to drawing or coloring materials. Safe place visualization provides an opportunity to access internal resources for calm and grounding which can be useful during times of high stress or when an individual experiences abreactions from trauma reminders.
