From ACEs to HOPE

March 18 @ 9:00 am 1:00 pm

This interactive training explores how early adversity and positive experiences shape lifelong health, behavior, and well-being.

Through discussion, self-reflection, and role-play, participants will practice trauma-informed, resilience-building strategies and effective communication skills that support healing, connection, and hope.

This training is sponsored by United Way of Palm Beach County.
