ACEs in its Places!
I am thrilled to introduce Lisa Brunt, the Director and Founder of CrewCymru Ltd, who has recently joined our team. Lisa will be sharing her invaluable insights at the Cognitive & Neurodiversity Zone - Mastering Diversity Conference on September 16th, where her talk, "ACEs in its Places!" promises to be both enlightening and thought-provoking.
Lisa's extensive experience and dedication to supporting children and young people come to life through her work at CrewCymru, an organization she established to address the educational barriers faced by those impacted by trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Her presentation will focus on three crucial areas:
- Identifying childhood trauma and ACEs, which are essential for understanding the challenges faced by young people today.
- Exploring the effects and challenges that our younger generation encounters, helping us better comprehend their experiences.
- Highlighting the critical role interventions and the presence of an Emotionally Available Adult play in shaping the lives of children and young people.
Lisa's mission is rooted in her commitment to creating positive change in the educational landscape for youth in South Wales, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive. We are incredibly fortunate to have her share her expertise and vision with us.
