From ACEs to HOPE

This interactive training explores how early adversity and positive experiences shape lifelong health, behavior, and well-being. Participants will gain an understanding of the ACEs and PCEs research, toxic stress, and generational trauma, and learn how these factors impact brain development and overall health. Using the Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE) framework, this session focuses on shifting from a deficit-based lens to a strengths-based approach that builds resilience. 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.

Education for Parents, Caregivers, Students, and Professionals

At Center for Child Counseling, we specialize in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health, Play Therapy, and trauma-informed care. We know that early, healthy relationships are powerful. They support development, strengthen resilience, and buffer children from the effects of adversity.

Our experienced team brings deep knowledge and evidence-based practices to life through engaging, hands-on workshops. Participants gain practical skills and strategies they can use right away—whether in the classroom, therapy room, or at home.

We offer training and resources for parents, educators, professionals, and caregivers who live, love, and work with children and teens. Play is at the heart of our work, serving as a meaningful pathway for coping, healing, and growth. Learn more and explore our workshops on our website.
