The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and Neonatal Alcohol Syndrome (NAS) Training is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how early trauma and prenatal alcohol exposure affect development across the lifespan. Participants will explore how the brain forms emotionally and cognitively under the influence of stress, substance exposure, and adverse environments, and how these early disruptions manifest as behavioral and relational challenges in adulthood.

The program emphasizes the clinical and coaching applications of a trauma-informed approach, equipping learners to recognize the long-term impact of ACEs and NAS on mental health, emotional regulation, and social functioning. Through evidence-based instruction, you will gain the skills to identify trauma-related patterns, support affected individuals, and apply strategies that foster resilience and healthier outcomes.

By the end of the training, participants will not only understand the neurobiological and psychological effects of ACEs and NAS, but also be prepared to integrate trauma-informed care principles into treatment, recovery coaching, and community support practices.
