What are Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)? What is the lasting legacy of childhood trauma and what impact does it have on the development of the brain? What’s all this got to do with you anyway? By using a mixture of poetry and scientific information, the answer to these questions are provided, giving a unique insight into the impact of ACEs and the simple things organisations can do provide safe, trauma informed environments. This talk will describe the lasting impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and resultant mental illness before explaining the effect on the brain. By using poetry to describe I hope to provide a unique insight into how mental illness feels and understanding of the simple things organisations can do to avoid inadvertently triggering a trauma response. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
