More Than Just a Card Game: Decoding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES)

Join us in the first part of our two-part series as we shed light on the often-unseen impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) - events that ripple through a person's life, affecting health, wellbeing, and success in profound ways. This episode isn't about a deck of cards, but rather a journey into understanding the seriousness of ACES, including neglect, household dysfunction, and various forms of abuse. We explore their long-lasting implications, the science behind the substantial effects on a child's development, and how these experiences can echo into adulthood. We also touch upon resilience and the power of support systems. This comprehensive dive prepares us for our follow-up episode, where we'll discuss further how society and individuals can address ACES.
