Description
The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is one of the largest public health studies ever conducted on childhood trauma and the correlation of health and well-being later on in life. It proved, with scientific evidence, that adversity early in life increases physical, mental, and behavioral health problems later in life. Brooke Anderson, Director of Prevention & Outreach at DCAC and host of the Teaming Against Trauma Podcast, is an ACE Master Trainer. She explains how the ACE study's conclusions on neurodevelopment of children who experience high levels of trauma could effect the rest of their lives. Touching on Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), she encourages us saying, “You don’t need to have letters behind your name to make a great impact on a child's life.” Giving practical tips we can do to combat ACEs in our everyday lives, it is true that understanding ACEs is critical in caring well for ourselves, family, friends, and our community at large.
