Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have a tremendous impact on future violence victimization and perpetration, and lifelong health and opportunity.

This workshop is aimed at helping us to gain a deeper understanding of ACEs and their impacts which can then inform our day to day work with children, young people and families. This allows the formation of Psychologically Informed Environments, where our understanding of potential psychological impacts on an individual can help inform our response to them. For example, how we respond to challenging behaviour which may be misinterpreted as anti-social.

The workshop offers you the chance to consider issues that shape behaviour such as:

• Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
• Attachment
• Trauma
• Emotional Regulation

We are exceptionally grateful to Yassir Mohammed, one of The Salvation Army's Addiction Development Officers, who will be leading this session.
