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.

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 discussing eating disorders and the impact that they can have on an individual. We will be looking at the different eating disorders that exist, how to spot warning signs, along with the associated health risks of the disorder.

This training provides a foundational learning experience around the topics of trauma and trauma-informed care. We will define trauma, discuss the many types of trauma/adversity, explore the impact of trauma on the brain and behavior, introduce resilience, and discuss SAMHSA’s 4 Rs of trauma-informed care. Throughout the presentation, we will share useful tools and techniques.

This program is approved by the National Association of Social Workers (Approval 886921848-6276) for 2 continuing education contact hours.
