Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their Impact on the Perinatal Experience and the Perinatal Experiences Impact on ACEs

Colleen Weeks LCCE, FACCE, CLE, CSE, RTS

Every mother we serve has a story and that story impacts her pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and mothering experience psycho-socially and physically. Childhood abuse and neglect leaves lifelong scars, while love and support creates resilience. We have a powerful opportunity to influence resilience in the mother and, in turn the newborn which will follow them throughout life. This is a powerful “feel good” presentation based in science!
