Medical Providers
Support Patients in Building Resilience
Adverse childhood experiences can have a profound impact on both physical and mental health across the lifespan. High ACE scores are linked to increased risks of chronic illnesses, mental health challenges, and behavioral issues, making it essential for providers to recognize these connections in the children and adults they care for.
By integrating ACEs awareness into their medical practice, providers can offer more trauma-informed care, identify at-risk patients early, and connect them with appropriate resources to promote healing and resilience.
