dc.description.abstractThis capstone project explores the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on neurodevelopment, focusing on the influence of parental ACEs and the effects of racism and discrimination as ACEs. Building on the initial ACEs study (Felitti et al., 1998), the project examines how ACEs disrupt brain development and influence cognitive and emotional functioning. The central research question investigates how ACEs affect neurodevelopment, with sub-questions exploring the impact of parental ACEs and racism on child development, and the role of Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) in promoting resilience. The literature review examines the latest research on ACEs and brain development, focusing on the effects of toxic stress and how parental ACEs and community factors, such as racism, influence developmental outcomes. Additionally, the capstone presents strategies and community programs to mitigate the impact of ACEs, while reflecting on how these findings can inform trauma-informed counselling practices. This paper provides valuable insights for counsellors, social workers, and other mental health professionals.
