Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES), often created by economic distress, poverty, and racism, and occurring before the age of 18 years, are a major public health problem in the county, state, and nation. The pandemic is likely to worsen the potential for ACES, especially for children and youth from low-income communities and communities of color. This one hour virtual interaction, featuring Dr. Pamela Brown, Executive Director of the Anne Arundel County Partnership for Children, Youth & Families, will be held on January 27, 2021, and is free to registered participants. The program will help participants understand the impact of ACES, discuss intergenerational trauma in communities, share new research related to ACES and the pandemic, and consider how we can become a trauma-responsive county.
