The Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board has partnered with the community to provide Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) training. Led by Behavioral Health Wellness Coordinator Mo Bowler, this training aims to educate parents on how they can support children who may be experiencing trauma. Bowler emphasizes that while it is impossible to prevent all negative experiences, there are strategies individuals, families, and communities can implement to reduce the impact of trauma.
The training is structured in three stages. In the first stage, participants will explore the brain science behind trauma. In the second stage, they will examine the data connecting ACEs to childhood trauma. Finally, in the third stage, they will focus on building community resilience to combat the effects of ACEs. Bowler believes that this training provides a strong foundation for further learning and understanding of trauma, making it an essential resource for parents, caregivers, and anyone interested in trauma-informed care.
These training sessions are open to individuals over 18 years old and are free to attend. The upcoming session will take place in September at Massanutten Regional Library’s Central Library in downtown Harrisonburg. By offering these educational opportunities, the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board aims to create a more informed and supportive community for individuals impacted by adverse childhood experiences.
