Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can result in immediate and long-term medical, mental health, and behavioral issues (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, n.d.). School counselors who incorporate their knowledge of ACES to inform programming decisions in their school counseling programs can intervene to buffer the impact of ACEs. This presentation will discuss a student on school counselors experiences with ACES and include recommendations for how school counselors and school counselor educators can better prepare school counselors to work with students experiencing ACEs.
