Understanding Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Research

Something for the entire multi-disciplinary team: NCPTC is offering a webinar on Understanding Adverse Childhood Experience Research. This research is central to what we know about how violence impacts health, so again, if you’re looking for a great opportunity for some team continuing education, here’s a great one.

The session will be held August 8th from 2-3:30 or 4pm CT. Registration is $30. Have some education dollars to burn? This is a good use of cash. You don’t even have to have everyone in the same place. But when you get together as a team at a later date, the discussion you can have as a follow-up to the session will certainly enhance everyone’s capacity–as both a clinician and as a witness at trial.
