The live professional training program on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the Criminal Justice System is presented by Jerrod Brown, PhD.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are defined as the exposure to neglect (i.e., physical or emotional), abuse (i.e., emotional, physical, or sexual), or household dysfunction (i.e., divorce, mental illness, substance abuse, domestic violence, or the incarceration of a relative) prior to adulthood. Such adverse experiences can have a wide range of consequences across the lifespan including antisocial, aggressive, and criminal behavior. Preventing or treating adverse childhood experiences has the potential to increase well-being and decrease the likelihood of future criminal justice involvement. Developed for criminal justice, forensic mental health, and legal professionals, this training serves as an introduction to recognizing and addressing adverse childhood experiences. Relevant topics covered during this webinar will include complex trauma, toxic stress, resiliency, comorbid psychopathology, HPA axis dysfunction, executive function, self-regulation, theory of mind, and implications for policy and practice to name a few. Empirically based research findings will be highlighted throughout this webinar.
