Adverse Childhood Experiences (or "ACE's)
ACES typically stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences. These are potentially traumatic events that occur during childhood (0-17 years) and can include abuse, neglect, or household challenges such as parental separation, substance use, or mental illness. These experiences can have long-term effects on health, well-being, and development. Addressing ACES involves trauma-informed care to help individuals heal and build resilience.
