The Rappahannock Area Community Services Board (RACSB) it pleased to continue offering a training to increase your knowledge and understanding around trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences, also known as ACEs.  This toxic stress impacts brain development as well as our physical and mental health.  

When children experiences traumatic events, it can have lasting effects on their mental health and wellbeing. These events, called Adverse Childhood Experiences, can have profound effects on community health. Studies show that 26% of adults have experienced at least one ACE, while 1 in 8 adults have experienced 4 of more adverse childhood experiences. This trauma increases the likelihood of developing chronic diseases.

ACE Interface instructors from across Virginia are working together to raise awareness through education and to connect people to helpful resources in an effort to reduce adverse childhood experiences and ultimately improve the overall health and wellbeing of our communities.
