AZ ACEs CONSORTIUM FUNDRAISER:
BENEATH THE SURFACE WITH TYANNE BUIE
The Arizona Adverse Childhood Experiences Consortium
promotes a greater understanding of the impacts of toxic stress and trauma, and supports efforts to address and prevent them.
What is an ACE?
An adverse childhood experience (ACE) is trauma that takes place in a child’s life before age 18. LEARN MORE
The ACE Study
The ACE Study is a long-term collaboration between the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente.
It analyzes the relationship between childhood trauma and social and health consequences later in life
Toxic Stress Affects Future Health
We have begun to learn the extent to which toxic stress affects the architecture of young children’s developing brains. In short, early experiences factor into how children learn, how they cope with stress, how they form friendships and adult relationships, and how they view themselves and their world.
What Can We Do?
This is an exciting time for Arizona. The growing body of knowledge about ACEs and their impacts holds promise for our state’s ability to improve its citizens’ lives.
Solutions are available, and they need to be implemented.
