Beyond ACES: A Focus on Protective Factors
Protective factors are factors that could prevent or mitigate the effects of adverse childhood experiences and other risk factors that could compromise student well-being. Thus, for educators to know what these protective factors are and how they might strengthen these protective factors are powerful ways for educators to support their students. In this workshop, participants will: 1. Discuss the protective factors for mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders identified by SAMHSA for their students’ age group, 2. Determine which of the identified protective factors schools can influence, 3. Discuss strategies and resources educators can use to strengthen the protective factors relevant to their students’ well-being, and 4. Plan for how they could utilize those strategies and resources within their schools.
