Mark your calendars! The 6th Annual ACEs & Trauma Awareness Symposium is fast approaching. We are bringing together professionals, advocates, and experts dedicated to addressing the profound impact of trauma on mental and behavioral health. This event is being held at the Reunion Golf & Country Club. It’s an opportunity for learning, collaboration, and meaningful discussions that can shape the future of trauma-informed care.
This Year’s Theme
This year, we explore a pressing and complex issue: “Substance Use Disorders and Suicide: Unraveling the Underpinnings of Traumatic Experiences.” Trauma, especially in early development, can have far-reaching effects on emotional regulation, neurological pathways, and overall well-being. By examining the links between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), substance use disorders, and suicide, we aim to deepen our understanding of these challenges and drive forward innovative solutions for prevention and intervention.
Through expert-led discussions and research presentations, attendees will gain insights into how trauma contributes to these crises and what can be done to break the cycle. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, educator, policymaker, or advocate, this symposium will equip you with the knowledge and tools to make a lasting impact in your community.
