About

The CDC's Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) page addresses the impact of childhood trauma on health and well-being. It outlines ACEs, including abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, and their correlation with negative outcomes later in life. The page emphasizes prevention strategies and the importance of addressing ACEs to promote resilience and healthy development. It provides resources, data, and tools for individuals, communities, and professionals to understand, prevent, and mitigate the effects of ACEs on mental, physical, and social health, advocating for trauma-informed approaches and support systems.
