ACEs to Assets 2019 – Darren McGarvey – Making sense of the ACEs debate

Scotland is in the midst of a growing grassroots movement aimed at increasing public awareness of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). We now have glaring scientific evidence that childhood adversity can create harmful levels of stress, especially if a child is left to manage their responses to that adversity without emotionally reliable relationships. The vision for ACE Aware Nation is that all 5 million citizens of Scotland should have access to this information. The ‘ACEs to Assets Conference’ was held on 11 June 2019 in Glasgow, drawing an audience of nearly 2000 members of the public keen to explore actions that can be taken to prevent and heal the impacts of childhood trauma.

In this film, we hear from award winning author and commentator, Darren McGarvey, who reflects on the debate generated by the growth of the ACEs Movement. He argues that a future step should be further politicisation of the discussion, to address the impact and prevention of ACEs.
