Adverse Childhood Experience ACEs & ABEs (Babyhood)

More people are becoming aware of the link between our early life experiences and our emotional health, as well as our physical health. But many people are still unaware just how much our time in utero, our birth and the first 6 years of our life affect who we are.

So what are ACE’s?

A growing body of research is revealing the long-term impacts that experiences and events during childhood have on individuals’ life chances. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) such as abuse, neglect and dysfunctional home environments have been shown to be associated with the development of a wide range of harmful behaviours including smoking, harmful alcohol use, drug use, risky sexual behaviour, violence and crime. They are also linked to diseases such as diabetes, mental illness, cancer and cardiovascular disease, and ultimately to premature mortality.
