The Science of ACEs
Toxic stress from ACEs triggers prolonged activation of stress hormones, disrupting brain development and weakening immune responses.
This biological response leads to long-term mental and physical health problems, including anxiety, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic inflammation.
Individuals with multiple ACEs have been found to be at a 70-100% higher risk of developing autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
Nearly half of U.S. children (ages 0-17) have experienced at least one ACE.
22% of adults report having experienced four or more ACEs, putting them at a significantly higher risk for chronic diseases, mental health disorders, and early death
ACEs increase the risk of conditions like heart disease, stroke, and depression by two to four times.
For children, teens, and young adults, early identification of ACEs can lead to timely interventions, reducing the risk of long-term health issues.
