Adverse Childhood Experiences Awareness Training for Trauma Informed Workplaces.
Some people walk into work wounded but with dignity.
Statistically, as you consider any workspace, 34% people, on average, will never have experienced an adverse childhood experience. That leaves 66% who have. 12.5% of people will have experienced 4 or more of those ACE’s detailed in this infographic. That statistic may be some of your best and brightest.
ACE awareness training can help separate the behaviours from the person. Colleagues and managers are not therapists, however raising awareness of how ACE’s affects the brain and hence behaviour can help foster understanding and compassion leading to better relations and communication.
