Oct. 29 webinar to discuss Adverse Childhood Events in rural America - Entrepreneur Generations

The Rural Health Information Hub will host a free webinar on Oct. 29 to discuss a policy brief on the causes and effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences, which rural children may be more prone to experience.

The webinar website elaborates: “Adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, are forms of chronic stress or trauma, (e.g., abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction) that, when experienced during childhood and adolescence, can have profound short- and long-term consequences on an individual’s development, health, and overall well-being. As first described in a landmark 1998 study, researchers identified a relationship between the number of ACEs and poor adult health-related outcomes, including increased risks for diabetes, cancer, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.”

The webinar will begin at 2 pm ET and will last about an hour. Click here for more information or to register.
