Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) affect 34.8 million children across the U.S., impacting all socio-economic backgrounds. These experiences are linked to chronic health conditions such as heart disease and cancer, mental health struggles like anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, as well as behavioral, learning, hormonal, and immune system challenges.
A Public Health Crisis
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ACEs are a pressing public health issue. By raising awareness and providing proactive support, we encourage individuals and communities to become part of the solution.
