Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's) - On Demand

We know that the brain’s architecture is built over time and from the bottom up, much like a house. Sturdy architecture is built when children have stable, positive experiences and relationships with caring adults at home and in the community.  We’ve learned that severe or repeated exposure to harmful experiences without the support of caring adults can cause toxic stress responses in children, which can weaken the brain’s architecture, leaving children vulnerable to a range of health, learning and behavior problems across their lifespan.  Fortunately, research also suggests that there are things we can do to buffer toxic stress, preventing or reversing its effects.

Ursula Volwiler

Director of Community Engagement

Community Reslience Initiative

Ursula Volwiler is Director of Community Engagement at Community Resilience Initiative (CRI) in Walla Walla, WA. The question of resilience has always guided her career: Why do some people adapt to the most challenging environments, and even thrive, while others do not? She found answers to that question by joining CRI in 2020, and she greatly enjoys sharing all of CRI’s work in the community and classroom. Ursula holds undergraduate degrees in Translation Studies and Elementary Education as well as a graduate degree in Curriculum and Instruction with Specialization in English as a Second Language. She is currently completing a 7-month post-graduate program in Traumatic Stress Studies.
