Growing Stronger: ACEs Training Opportunities

Growing Stronger is a campaign developed in partnership with School Improvement Liverpool and the Liverpool City Council, with the aim of helping people of all backgrounds and ages within the local area build resilience for and protection from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). We will bring the strategy to life through three main goals:

• Preventing ACEs from occurring.
• Supporting children who may be affected by ACEs.
• Supporting adults who may be affected by their own ACEs.
