| Overview & Vision: |
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), stressful or traumatic events that a child experiences while growing up, are proven risk factors for future developmental, behavioral, and emotional distubances. For example, ACEs can impact an indiviual's lifespan, sustance abuse, high-risk sexual behavior, pregancy outcomes, and depression levels. Considering the drastic impact ACEs can have on a child's future, we believe it is imperative to increase protective factors against them and investigate how to mitigate their effects. These effort are driven by the goal of impairing the tragectory of negative outcomes ACEs induce in order to promote a safer future for children disadvantaged at a young age. |
