Adverse Childhood Experiences

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), things such as physical/mental abuse, neglect, caregiver mental illness and household violence can increase the risk of many physical, mental, and behavioural problems (chronic disease, learning abilities, addiction, etc). Research has shown that when communities and government sectors work together to help children and families, then can prevent and change some of the negative outcomes of ACEs.
