The 2012 Fall
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug (ATOD) Prevention forums will be held
throughout the state between October 29-November 30, 2012. The topic this year
is Helping Children and Families Thrive: A look at the Adverse Childhood
Experiences study (ACEs) and its relevance to community alcohol, tobacco, and
other drug (ATOD) prevention. The ACEs is a source of data and research
information that provides valuable insight into the affects of trauma and
stress on children. This workshop will lay the foundation of the ACEs and look
at what individuals, families and communities can do with this information in
their substance abuse prevention efforts.
Participant
Objectives:
- To understand the existing
condition of risk for our children and families
- To understand the biology of

address ACEs in our existing adult population preventing transmission to
future generations
- To understand how we can prevent
ACEs from happening in the first place individually, in our community, and
in the greater society
