Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES)

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES): When Chronic Stress and Adversity Lead to Lifelong Health Consequences
Workshop from The Gathering on Mental Health and The Church on October 8th, 2015

Alice Forrester, PhD — Executive Director, Clifford Beers Child Guidance Clinic

Many children are exposed to complex stressors that are termed “Adverse Childhood Experiences” (ACES). These ACES can include domestic violence, parental substance abuse, and traumatic loss. The effects of untreated ACES can result in poor health, impaired brain development, disrupted relationships, and mental health issues. If addressed, children can make a resilient recovery. This presentation will review the research on ACES and examine what we might do to address the widespread but largely ignored epidemic.
