How ACEs Affect your Health Part 1

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is the term given to describe all types of abuse, neglect, and other traumatic childhood experiences. The landmark Kaiser ACE Study scientifically links the short and long term effects of these experiences during development to increased risk of physical, mental, and behavioral problems later in life. The scope of the ACE Study, combined with its health and economic implications, make it an ideal starting point for collaborative efforts between diverse people, organizations, and service sectors working to improve health and well being at every age.
