Research shows that children who experience Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) like abuse or neglect are at a higher risk for health problems as adults. These can include mental health issues, substance abuse, and chronic diseases. This CAP Month, let's continue to shine a light on the long-term effects of ACEs. It's not just about preventing immediate harm; it's about ensuring a brighter, healthier future for all. Let's work together to provide the protective factors that buffer against these adverse experiences, promoting Positive Childhood Experiences instead.
