About ACEs Study
“ACEs” stands for “Adverse Childhood Experiences.” These experiences can include things like physical and emotional abuse, neglect, caregiver mental illness, and household violence.
The more ACEs a child experiences, the more likely he or she is to suffer from things like heart disease and diabetes, poor academic achievement, and substance abuse later in life.
ACEs affect people at all income and social levels, and can have serious, costly impact across the lifespan. No one who’s experienced significant adversity (or many ACEs) is irreparably damaged, though we need to acknowledge trauma’s effects on their lives. By reducing families’ sources of stress, providing children and adults with responsive relationships, and strengthening the core life skills we all need to adapt and thrive, we can prevent and counteract lasting harm.
In this presentation participants will learn about Toxic Stress, how ACEs “Get Under the Skin”, and how we can reduce the effects of ACEs and Toxic Stress.

I like the way Ivy and Heather treated us like people instead of criminals. They are very understanding in all aspects of life. They taught me how to be a better father and better human being.

One student stayed after class to request help with his parenting plan, and upon leaving stated that he likes coming to class every week because it’s the place that he “gets love and kindness.
