The National Association for Public Defense (NAPD) will present a webinar on “Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): A Call on Clinical Behavioral Health” Monday, January 12, from 1 to 2 p.m.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) (e.g., household dysfunction, abuse, neglect, witnessing violence in the home or community) are traumatic events occurring prior to the age of 18 and are related to long-term negative cognitive, developmental, behavioral, social, and physical health outcomes.
Designed for professionals working in clinical behavioral health, criminal justice, forensic psychological, and legal, this training provides attendees with an overview of the ACEs research and its implications for justice-involved populations, and screening, intake, intervention, supervision, and management. This includes a review of practical tips, strategies, and solutions that can be utilized when working with clients impacted by various types of adverse childhood experiences.
Other relevant topics of interest discussed include prenatal trauma, maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adverse birth outcomes, complex and developmental trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD (CPTSD), toxic stress, alexithymia, mentalization deficits, attachment problems, executive functioning limitations, sleep disturbances, self-regulation problems, theory of mind (ToM) limitations, language development issues, hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation, suicidality, shame, empathy, resilience, and trauma informed care strategies. All aforementioned discussions are grounded in empirical research findings.
Speaking at the webinar will be Jerrod Brown, professor, trainer, researcher, and consultant with multiple years of experience teaching collegiate courses. Brown is also the founder and CEO of the American Institute for the Advancement of Forensic Studies (AIAFS) and the founder and co-editor-in-chief of Forensic Scholars Today (FST).
