  Hope Conquers ACEs: What's Predictable is Preventable

  Roger Sherman Roger Sherman is the Executive Director of the Idaho Children's Trust Fund, which is also the state affiliate of Prevent Child Abuse America. Under Roger's leadership, the Trust has greatly expanded its efforts to prevent child sexual abuse, introduced new ways of preventing Shaken Baby Syndrome, and engaged educators and others around trauma informed care and strengthening families. He has worked with schools and other organizations statewide in his current role and previously as a community organizer from 1979-2007. Roger was named the 2017 Child Advocate of the Year as the recipient of the Jerry Hirschfeld Special Achievement Award by the Idaho Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Roger is married and has three daughters.

  Across Idaho, interest in learning to combat the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) is growing. While it is important to understand that child abuse, neglect and serious family dysfunction can cause toxic stress and are responsible for significant health problems, it is even more important to understand what we can do to prevent or mitigate the impact of ACEs. This presentation will explore both the prevalence of ACEs in Idaho and across the nation, and how Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE) can be achieved through building resiliency and other protective factors.
