TOPICS
The Power of Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs)
One of the most exciting applications of the Science of the Positive is in the developing body of scientific research around positive experiences as a counterbalance to the harmful physical, mental, and behavioral effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) across the lifespan. This ongoing research is transforming how we address the prevention and mitigation of trauma and its harmful effects, and opening new avenues for increasing community and individual health and wellness. In this interactive workshop, you will learn about the latest data, implications for the people you serve, opportunities for application within your community and emerging research to cultivate PCEs for greater community well-being.
