Empowering our children is pivotal as they are the future leaders. For this reason, providing them with essential care and support is crucial to guiding them toward a promising future. Unfortunately, many children encounter distressing experiences during their upbringing, leading to numerous challenges both in their personal lives and within our society. Addressing this significant issue requires adept knowledge and strategic approaches. In this course, we’ll teach you adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), how they affect the lives of individuals and how to effectively tackle them.

We start by introducing you to the concept of ACEs, their prevalence, various forms and their consequences, including physical and mental health consequences. Following that, you’ll discover the importance of ACEs awareness and its impacts on individuals, families and communities, including the educational and vocational challenges individuals who experience ACEs face. In addition, you will learn about the factors that can increase ACEs vulnerability and the factors that can mitigate their impact.
