Northern Light RACES - Responding to Adverse Childhood Experiences

Northern Light RACES is a five-part video series that aims to help people learn and understand how adverse childhood experiences (ACES) can impact our lives. Our goal is to empower individuals to recognize and address past traumas, and learn how to prevent them from being passed on to future generations.

What are ACES?

ACES are stressful or traumatic events that occur during childhood, such as abuse, neglect, or household challenges. These experiences can have a lasting impact on physical and mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. By understanding ACES, we can begin to heal and build resilience. RACES provides practical strategies for responding to ACES and fostering healthy relationships and coping skills. This knowledge can help create a more compassionate and supportive community for children and families impacted by trauma.

The first step in breaking the cycle of trauma is awareness. We invite you to watch our Northern Light RACES series and join us in promoting resilience and healing for future generations.
