Protective Factors and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): Meeting Families with Hope and Healing

 

This training was presented on
June 20, 2023

 

*Training certificates are only available following live trainings or completion of self-paced courses. A certificate will not be provided for review of these materials.

 

 

As ACEs screening becomes more widespread, providers may lack knowledge about engaging families in the screening process in a way that supports healing within a data-informed framework. The Five Protective Factors model addresses this knowledge gap in a strength-based way that supports providers in making data-informed decisions about services and treatment.

 

Learners will be able to:

  • Understand and discuss the proposed relationship between ACEs screening and the Five Protective Factors framework.
  • Practice responding to families’ needs from a strengths-based, data-informed Protective Factors approach.
  • Generate ideas for how the Five Protective Factors framework can be integrated into their practice setting.

 

Who should attend: All staff of family resource center (FRCs), child abuse prevention councils (CAPCs), and other child and family-serving organizations.
