Adverse Childhood Experiences are
the root cause of many serious academic, social and behavioral problems that
may have the potential to prevent a child from receiving the full benefits of
education. Experiences of poverty, discrimination and community violence can
impair the development of the growing brain and body (The
Illinois ACEs Response Collaborative).
Speakers include:
·
Dr. Audrey Stillerman, MD, Medical Director, UIC
Office of Community Engagement, School Health Centers: Co-Founder, Center for
Collaborative Study of Trauma, Health Equity and Neurobiology.
·
Kristine Argue-Mason, Instructional Resource and
Professional Development Director for the Illinois Education Association;
Facilitator, trauma-care training for teachers.
·
Loren Williams, Licensed Professional Counselor,
former counselor for Chicago schools with Metropolitan Family Services;
specialist in trauma counseling, domestic violence & anger
management.
These speakers will address the impact of ACE's on
children's development, their experiences and opportunities at school, how
educators can identify and work with children who have experienced trauma, and
ideas for developing trauma-sensitive schools and classrooms. Teachers,
counselors, social workers, youth advocates and parents will find useful
information, strategies for teaching and counseling, and a deeper understanding
of this issue.
2 continuing education credits (Cpdu's) are available, EIEN
required. Space is limited and registration is required. To register,
