long as you have a plan and that plan is practiced. In this workshop,
we will cover the potential hazards that could occur and steps to
prepare your facility and staff to ensure everyone is confident and
calm during a crisis.

on a local, state and national level to diverse audience. She

Introduction to ACEs for Early Childhood Professionals
PRESENTER: Kindal Akers

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: Thanks to decades of neuroscience research on
brain development, adversity and toxic stress, we now understand how
and why children exposed to violence, neglect or trauma early in life
often cope with behavioral, mental and physical health problems later
in life. This workshop explores the findings and implications of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, how brains are built and
the critical importance of high quality early child care.
