What ACEs are
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that occur before the age of 18.
These can include things like:
- Household dysfunction
- Neglect
- Abuse
- Exposure to substance use or mental health challenges
ACEs are more common than most people realize.
Why this matters
As ACE scores increase, so does the risk for challenges later in life.
This can include impacts on:
- Physical health
- Mental health
- Relationships
- Coping patterns
This is not about blame. It’s not about judgment.
It’s about understanding.
Understanding ACEs doesn’t just help you.
It can also change what comes next.
With awareness, we have the opportunity to:
- Heal
- Break cycles
- Make different choices
- Create healthier environments for ourselves and others
Including the next generation.
This course is about awareness
This is not about blame. It’s not about judgment.
It’s about understanding.
And creating the possibility for something different.
