ACEs play a vital role in how adults navigate through life.  Studies have shown that adults who endured traumatic childhood’s have a higher correlation of substance use and suicide.  This webinar will review what ACEs entail and how they intersect with substance use and suicide.  We will also look at ways of reducing the impact childhood trauma may have on adults, provided early intervention is engaged.
