Maine Resilience Building Network’s mission is to promote resilience in all people by increasing the understanding of the impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the importance of building resilience through protective factors such as positive relationships.

SPREADING HOPE: HEALTHY OUTCOMES FROM POSITIVE EXPERIENCES
Through new research on the science of Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), we know both negative and positive experiences impact that brain development. This training will offer those working with children and families practical guidance in implementing a strengths-based approach that identifies, celebrates, and promotes access to essential Positive Childhood Experiences. The presentation will cover the research behind PCEs and their mitigating effects on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the Four Building Blocks of HOPE, and the power of the brain to heal.
