Adverse Childhood Experiences

ACEs Webinar for parents and carers

This webinar is designed for parents and carers who want to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) or support their children to heal from previous adversity. It has been developed by the Educational Psychology Service in collaboration with the Somerset Parent Carer Forum as part of a Public Health project. This project aims to raise awareness of ACEs, and provide adults with strategies they can use to support our children and young people to become resilient and healthy adults.
