Adverse Childhood Experiences (or ACEs) are associated with some of the most common, serious, and intractable health conditions facing our patients. Toxic stress from ACEs such as poverty, violence, and emotional or physical abuse can cause wear and tear on all body systems. In fact, ACEs are associated with increased risk for heart disease, cancer, accidents, respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease, and suicide.
