"The Lasting Impact of ACEs: From Childhood Challenges to Adult Health Risks"
Research shows that experiencing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can lead to challenges in social, emotional, cognitive development, and long-term health issues in adulthood. The impact intensifies with the number of ACEs, but even one or two persistent stressors can have significant effects. ACEs include abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction.
Potential effects of ACEs include:
- Learning and memory difficulties
- Behavioral issues
- Attention and focus problems
- Poor academic performance
- Impaired reasoning
- Emotional processing challenges
- Social skills deficits
- Chronic illnesses
- Immune system disorders
- Obesity
- Cancer
- Stroke
- Heart disease
- Liver problems
- Risky behaviors
- Impulsiveness
- Substance abuse

"Note: This questionnaire doesn't consider if you had support to mitigate toxic stress or received counseling to address trauma. Remember, support and counseling can aid healing from ACEs."
