THE EFFECTS OF ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES
Children who are exposed to traumatic events are affected by them later on in life. Many childhood traumas can follow victims into adulthood.
Children who are abused or neglected are at higher risk for health problems as adults. Traumatic childhood events that have long lasting negative effects are known as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). ACEs can cause problems in adulthood including alcoholism, depression, drug abuse, eating disorders, obesity, high-risk sexual behaviors, smoking, suicide, and certain chronic diseases.
