The Impacts of ACEs

People who have experienced ACEs and any of the negative health impacts can have an increased chance of repeating the same trauma they experienced. For caregivers, this can lead to continuing a cycle of trauma for children in their care. This cycle can increase the risk of children, families and communities struggling with negative health and well-being outcomes.

The Impacts of ACEs

• Research suggests that people of color, the LGBTQ population and those with fewer years in school and not as much money or resources have a greater risk for ACEs and the associated negative health impacts.

• Rural populations compared to urban populations experience a greater risk for ACEs due to factors such as access to healthcare providers, long distances between resources, limited transportation, poverty, cultural and language barriers, and citizenship status.
