Chapters

ACEs are extremely important in our understanding of mental health conditions and lifelong health and wellness, really. So what they are are adverse childhood experiences that occur to someone in the course of their lifetime from birth to the age of 17 or 18. So these are different than just situations or experiences that may be uncomfortable or unpleasant, but these are situations that are really significant, traumatic for an individual, and that really impacts their development.
