What is ACEs Aware?
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have been shown to have an impact on long term health outcomes and have been linked to chronic illnesses such as asthma, heart disease, and diabetes. Exposure to childhood trauma impacts health by activating the toxic-stress response. The toxic-stress response disrupts normal functioning of the human brain, and may cause health problems for both children and adults. ACEs Aware is partnering with providers in California communities to implement training, screening, and treatment of ACEs and their associated conditions.
ACEs Aware in Ventura County aims to train local providers to
recognize symptoms of ACEs, screen patients, and provide better
treatment plans for both children and adults.
