Issue: The Impact of our Childhood Experiences

Program Topic: Weathering Shame – overcoming the shame, stigma, and challenges of mental health issues, substance use and other significant challenges

Key Discussion Points:
ACEs – Adverse Childhood Experiences happen for more than 2/3 of our population and can affect our lifelong health and wellbeing if not addressed
These challenges happen to all of us – regardless of income, race, ethnicity. None of us are immune.
It takes at least one strong supportive relationship to help us to rebound – overcome our challenges.
