Adverse childhood experiences
The ACE Study confirms, with scientific evidence, that adversity during development increases the risk of physical, mental, and behavioral problems later in life. The ACE Study and other research using the Study’s framework have taught us that ACEs are the leading cause of health and social problems in our nation – the most powerful determinant of the public’s health. ACE sessions uses curriculum focused on neuroscience and epigenetics, the ACE Study and impact of ACEs, and resilience to overcome and prevent ACEs.
