Connections Matter workshops with aea 267

Connections Matter is a community-based initiative that invites attendees to explore how the connections we make in life profoundly impact our brain's ability to grow and our own individual abilities to cope and thrive. In this workshop, we explore topics such as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), trauma, brain development, and resilience. We will teach you how these topics intersect with one another, and, most importantly, how you can apply these concepts within your own life and your respective communities. Connections Matter ultimately strives to promote the building of more resilient, compassionate, and trauma-informed communities - thus allowing all children and individuals to succeed.

Who should attend? Parents, community members, childcare/family support professionals, non-profit professionals, medical/human services providers, faith organizations
