Discovery and Learning


Across the state of Wisconsin, professionals are trained to educate on the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the long-term effects on life-long health.

This science-informed, evidence-based curriculum walks people through what is called NEAR Science:

  • How toxic stress and trauma affect the brain (Neurobiology)
  • How the impact of early adversity and trauma can be transmitted from one generation to the next (Epigenetics)
  • More in-depth information about the findings from the original study (Adverse Childhood Experiences)
  • How to build strength and capacity in individuals and communities (Resilience)

This training can be customized to the audience and timeframe (between one to four hours depending on desired outcomes) and is offered free of charge. We can deliver this training in-person or virtually.
