Intended Audience:
Collaborative Coordinators and their partners and ACE Interface Presenters
Description:
Join us for an Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences: Building Self-Healing Communities Presentation!
Addressing intergenerational and historical trauma, promoting healing and protective factors, and reducing adversity in future generations will require the involvement of many creative, collaborative, and passionate people. The goal of the Understanding ACEs: Building Self-Healing Communities presentation is to offer a common language and understanding of core concepts from the fields of neurobiology, epigenetics, epidemiology (ACEs), and resilience research. You will also have time to discuss your ideas on how this information can be applied to your sphere of influence in your work, family life and community.
This presentation will be shared in three sections:- Neurobiology & Epigenetics focuses on how our brains adapt to our environment during childhood & some basic concepts about related to how toxic stress can impact healthy development
- Key Findings from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study highlights some of the data from the original ACE study
- Resilience provides a framework for thinking about resilience, and focuses primarily on attachment & belonging, supporting individual capabilities, culture, community, and spirituality as key protective systems

Intended Audience:
Collaborative Coordinators and their proxies
Description:
This session is designed for Collaborative Coordinators participating in More Resilient Minnesota who would like to learn more about the planning steps for scheduling and hosting Understanding ACEs: Building Self-Healing Communities presentations (Presentations) in their Collaboratives’ communities. Through More Resilient Minnesota, Collaboratives are eligible to host up to 5 Presentations at NO COST. These Presentations can be offered in partnership with local Collaborative partners. The coordination and scheduling do not need to be managed directly by the Collaborative Coordinator.
The 2 - 3 hour Presentation is designed to educate audiences about NEAR Science, which stands for Neurobiology, Epigenetics, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and Resilience. NEAR Science helps us understand how adversity and trauma impact our biology as well as the health and well-being of our communities. The Presentation offers a message of hope and introduces a process that communities have used to build their capacity to: prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (or ACEs), support those who have experienced toxic stress, and build new cultural norms that are more inclusive, culturally-responsive, and healing-centered.
At this session, we will review:
- Purpose of the Understanding ACEs: Building Self-Healing Communities presentation
- Scheduling and planning steps for hosting a Presentation
- General Q&A
