It would be irresponsible to explain ACEs without offering some explanation as to why this is so important and how we as trainers, directors, educators, and community members can use the information to inform our practice.
Adverse Childhood Experiences have lasting serious effects on humans and the sobering truth is that we probably can’t eliminate those completely. There are many factors that contribute to ACEs occurring from re-victimization to drug or alcohol abuse. These contributors are so diverse and so challenging in isolation that we really need to take a look at the individuals in society to begin repairing and preventing them initially.
Before society can change people must be knowledgeable about what their role is. Changing mindsets, habits, and preferences is extremely challenging and not necessarily the route that will yield the most success. Opinions matter and should be valued and this drives a lot of decision making for parents and caregivers. The issue only arises when opinions and habits cause ACEs.
So, what do we do about it?
According to the CDC “Safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments are essential to prevent child maltreatment and to assure children reach their full potential.” As members of society it is up to us to create, support, and defend those relationships to help perpetuate positive outcomes with a child’s development and future.
