ACES

While this is an over simplification, the study found that the more adverse childhood experiences (ACES) a child had (risk factors) the more likely they were to have social, emotional, & cognitive impairment. 

This in turn increases the likelihood the child/adult will become involved with health-risk behaviors. 

This in-turn increases the risk of disease, disability, and social problems, and ultimately early death. 

However, well before early death, is poor quality of life.

How can adverse childhood experiences affect health, learning, habits, and behavioral change?  Can anything be done to help the healing?  What?  Please feel free to make comments or ask questions below.
