Read this Page First You were born with Resilience You still have it now Was it protected and nurtured when your were little? Did your life as a child bring ..... ∞ Love and care that provided protection from stress? ∞ Relationships that supported growth and coping? ∞ Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE)? ∞ Abuse or Neglect of a child or youth? ∞ A home that sometimes had more stress than love?
There are 10 types of ACEs. They are common for children. Two out of 3 adults had at least one type of ACE as a child. One out of 6 adults had 4 or more types. Most do well in their lives. Many continue to have stress.
Research (http://www.cdc.gov/NCCDPHP?ACE) has shown that the more ACE we experienced as children, the more likely we are to have physical and behavioral health problems as adults. Our problems put our children at higher risk for ACEs. Research has also shown that love and caring relationships bring out our resilience and are protective factors in our won lives and in the lives of our children. This e-brochure is designed to help you: ∞ Affirm your resilience, sources of strength, and support ∞ List challenges you faced as a child (ACEs) that may have caused you distress and may affect your health ∞ Reflect on how you may deal with the challenges ∞ Identify sources of healing, growth, and support for parenting and for protecting your children Protective Factors Self Rating Adverse Childhood Experience(ACE) Self-rating What can I do now? For Help, who do I call?
If you or your child has some ACEs please talk to your clinician.
