Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events occurring during childhood, including abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction, which can profoundly impact a person’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. These experiences often lead to increased risks of mental health issues, substance abuse, chronic conditions, and challenges in forming healthy relationships later in life.
