ACEs Awareness Training
FREE community trainingAdverse Childhood Experiences Training (ACES)
Arizona Youth Partnership is proud to present Adverse Childhood Experiences Training (ACES)
What is an ACE?
An adverse childhood experience is trauma that occurs before age 18.
Recurrent physical abuse
Recurrent emotional abuse
Contact Sexual abuse
Alcohol and/or drug abuse in the household.
An incarcerated household member
Household member who was depressed, mental ill, institutionalized or suicidal
Mother who was treated violently
One or no parent
Emotional or physical neglect
When adults were asked if they grew up with exposure to any of the above, the higher the number of exposure had a direct correlation to certain health, social, and economic risks as an adult.
The ACE study suggests that certain childhood experiences are major risk factors for the leading causes of illness and death in the US.
