Trauma Informed Care for Adverse Childhood Experiences
More than 60% of adults in the US are impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), shares the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These difficult or stressful childhood experiences can impact people of all races, socioeconomic statuses, and geographic locations.
