Jan. 14th 1:00pm – 2:30pm\, \nComplex and Emerging Military Exposure Threat. \nRegister Here \nThis live\, knowledge-based webinar is put on by the War-Related Illness and Injury Study Center (WRIISC) within Health Outcomes Military Exposures (HOME). While military exposures are inherently complex\, not all Veterans require in-depth evaluations of their clinical issues and concerns. Navigating the puzzle of how military exposures may or may not be related to a Veteran’s medical issues can be complicated\, and understanding how to address these at the primary care level is the first step. In addition\, awareness of additional resources\, how to effectively work-up exposure concerns initially\, and determining when and how to consult higher levels of exposure informed specialty care are the critical next steps. \nThis session will explore aspects of complex and emerging exposure cases and cohorts and considerations to optimize consultations with the War Related Illness and Injury Study Centers (WRIISCs) and their Centers of Excellence. Research aimed at calculating exposure dose estimates using objective and subjective military environmental exposure data will be presented as an example of the type of projects under development at the new Complex Exposure Threats Center of Excellence (CETCE) in Washington DC. This training is appropriate for interprofessional health care teams. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print URL:https://ashburnlegion.org/event/complex-and-emerging-military-exposure-threat/ LOCATION:VA CATEGORIES:American Legion END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250114T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250114T130000 DTSTAMP:20260406T154156 CREATED:20250106T160421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250106T160421Z UID:3683-1736856000-1736859600@ashburnlegion.org SUMMARY:More Than One Story: Virtual Orientation DESCRIPTION:Jan 14th 12pm – 1pm\, \nMore Than One Story: Virtual Orientation.

Jan. 7th 10:00am\, \nUnderstanding adverse Childhood Experiences \nRegister Here \nDetails \n\n\n\nAdverse Childhood Experiences\, known as ACES\, can have profound effects on the well-being of an individual and on a community. Trauma can increase the likelihood of developing a chronic disease.  There is hope.  One stable and caring relationship can mitigate the impacts of trauma. Science tells us that what is predictable is preventable.  Studies in brain science\, epidemiology\, and resilience research has helped us to understand how protection\, prevention\, and building resilience can improve health\, safety\, and productivity across our lifespan. Th Fairfax-Falls Community Services Board invites you to join us for a presentation on “Building Resilient Communities and Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)” to learn how hope and connection can buffer ACEs. \nIn this 2.5-hour presentation you will learn: \n\nHow trauma impacts brain development.\nThe effects of childhood adversity and trauma on population health.\nResilience – what we can all do to improve health and well-being across the lifespan and within our community.\n\nWe can all make a difference in creating vibrant\, healthy communities. \nDisclaimer: demographic information collected for grant reporting purposes. [ZMM1] \nPlease contact the Wellness\, Health Promotion & Prevention Team at CSBPrevention@fairfaxcounty.gov\, if you have questions or need technical assistance. \n\n[ZMM1]Our partners have shared that they are including this disclaimer as it has helped them to have transparency why we’re asking.
