Center for Child Counseling is continuing its 2024 Lead the Fight series to move forward its efforts addressing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and childhood trauma with the healthcare providers who are on the frontlines of seeing children and families. On December 4, 2024, in partnership with the Palm Beach Pediatric Society, the Center will host part 3 of a 3-part series, Positivity Will Give HOPE for Our Future.
This part of the series will focus on HOPE–healthy outcomes from positive experiences–and understanding the effect of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) on countering the long-term effect of ACEs and trauma, including the role of epigenetics.
Featuring Eugenia Flores Millender, Ph.D., RN, PMH-APRN, FAAN as the keynote speaker, the goal of this event is to help pediatric medical professionals better understand how environmental influences–children’s experiences–actually affect the expression of their genes. Dr. Millender is board chair at Center for Child Counseling and the co-founder and co-director of the Center of Population Sciences for Health Equity, assistant dean of research, and a tenured professor at Florida State University College of Nursing.
This event will take place at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach.
