The Lives We Could Have Lived
Adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, are potentially traumatic events in childhood (0-17 years), such as neglect and experiencing or witnessing violence.
ACEs include aspects of a child’s environment that can undermine their sense of safety, stability, and bonding, such as living in a household with substance misuse or mental health problems.
ACEs can negatively impact physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral development. ACEs can also affect health, well-being, and prosperity well into adulthood. @StopAbuseCampaign
