Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can influence our behavior as an adult and a better understanding of those around us can help improve social connections and relationships.

The “History & Hope” training introduces the audience to the adverse childhood experiences study, and addresses the question “Why are adverse childhood experiences so adverse, and what can we do about it?” Bringing together Alaska Native ancestral knowledge of trauma and resilience; the sciences of neurobiology, physiology, and epigenetics; data on social and economic stressors affecting Alaskan families; and simple brain-body healing exercises, this presentation provides an introduction to how trauma-informed, culturally-responsive approaches can help shift our most pressing health and social problems.
