Adverse Childhood Experiences
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.
