Abstract
Foundational physical and emotional systems that shape an individual's lifelong well-being develop in early childhood. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can significantly disrupt this development, often leading to physical and mental health challenges in adulthood. Adults who have experienced ACEs may unintentionally expose their own children to similar adversities, perpetuating cycles of intergenerational trauma. This capstone project reviews existing literature to explore the effects of ACEs in adulthood and seeks strategies to interrupt this cycle. In this capstone, I propose the development of a podcast that incorporates psychoeducational content aimed at supporting caregivers in both self-care and child-rearing practices. By empowering caregivers with knowledge and practical tools, this initiative seeks to promote healing, resilience, and the reduction of intergenerational trauma.
