Autism - Support for parents, carers and families

ACEs webinar for parent and carers

This webinar is designed for parents and carers who want to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) or support their child(ren) to heal from previous adversity. It has been developed by the Educational Psychology Service in collaboration with the Somerset Parent Carer Forum as part of a Public Health project. This project aims to raise the awareness of ACEs, and provide adults with strategies they can use to support our children and young people to become resilient and healthy adults.
