Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
Data has correlated Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) with increases in adult Rx use, drug dependency, and more. Listen as we discuss with Elizabeth Guroff, MA, LCMFT, and Consultant, Practice Improvement and Consulting, for the National Council for Mental Wellbeing the role ACEs play in population health, why trauma informed care is critical, and the opportunities we have as communities to better understand the role both positive and adverse childhood experiences have on health outcomes and resilience.
