Abstract
Children encounter numerous forms of stressors in their daily living. Some of these stressors are mild, and the child can continue to function with minimal negative consequences. Other stressors are more impactful on the child's development and can result in various levels of impairment. Often children experience difficulties in their social-emotional functioning when faced with severe stressors. The ACE survey outlines the negative impact on a child's overall living when one or more stressors are present in their life. The ability of a counselor to understand what influences a child's social-emotional development is critical to helping that child adjust successfully. This workshop will focus on identifying various stressors in a child's life that can have a negative outcome on their overall academic, social, and emotional development. Additionally, participants will learn about the role of healthy relationships and techniques to endure adverse experiences in childhood.
