Farmington SAFE Community Conversation on Childhood Trauma

Trauma doesn’t disappear when childhood ends—it shapes how we connect, cope, and carry on. In this deeply personal and powerful livestream, experts and community members come together to talk openly about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), intergenerational trauma, and the road to healing.

💬 Speakers:
– Don, a community member sharing a multigenerational story of trauma, anxiety, loss, and healing
– Dr. Shakir, child & adolescent psychiatrist and trauma researcher
– Dr. Wade, VA psychologist and trauma-informed care trainer
– Jeff Bruff, youth caseworker with Farmington Youth Assistance

✅ Topics include:
✔️ Recognizing “little t” and “big T” trauma
✔️ The science and legacy of ACEs
✔️ Risk and protective factors for youth
✔️ Breaking the cycle of generational trauma
✔️ Practical tools for healing and support
✔️ How to talk about trauma—without retraumatizing

Whether you’re a parent, educator, youth worker, or someone healing from your own past—this conversation is for you.
