Twenty-five years ago, the Center for Disease Control discovered 10 “Adverse Childhood Experiences” that if they occurred before the age of 18 potentially has long lasting impacts on one’s psychological and physical health. In this presentation Dr. Eric M. Brown of Boston University will provide a framework for understanding how early experiences can have long lasting impacts on adult development. Furthermore, he will provide information on ways that faith leaders can serve those suffering from psychological and emotional distress as a result of adversity early in life. The Trauma Responsive Congregations Project, based at Boston University School of Theology, is sponsored by Lilly Endowment, Inc.
