Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are pivotal moments that shape a child’s life, often leaving lasting imprints on their mental and emotional well-being. These experiences encompass a spectrum, ranging from exposure to violence and abuse to environmental factors like household instability or substance abuse. The impact of ACEs on a child’s mental health is profound, potentially leading to conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Recognizing the pressing need to address the aftermath of traumatic events in childhood, the SUSTACE project strides forward with a vital mission.

E-training Courses: These courses, grounded in the latest scientific findings, will equip schoolteachers with knowledge and awareness about ACEs within the school environment. By fostering understanding, educators can create supportive atmospheres conducive to healing and growth.

Pilot Training Courses: Targeted at primary and secondary educators, these courses will disseminate scientifically-backed insights into ACEs’ impact on learning, socialization, and relationships. By implementing innovative strategies, teachers will learn how to create secure attachments and support pupils in overcoming emotional wounds.
