Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are things that happen before adulthood that can cause trauma. Or they're things that make a child feel like their home isn't safe or stable. Some examples of ACEs include violence, neglect, abuse, and family mental health or substance use problems.
The best thing you can do is to take care of your mental, emotional, and physical health. Here are some ways to do that.
Many adults have spent a lifetime learning to live with the effects of ACEs. But it's never too late to get help or to make positive changes.
