The term Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) refers to ten categories of adversity in three domains – abuse, neglect, and household challenges - that are experienced before the age of eighteen. Research has shown that an adult with one or more unmitigated ACEs has an increased risk for multiple chronic diseases, including cancer. Experiencing toxic stress can have a negative effect on the body, and relying on unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with the effects of trauma can lead to even more adverse effects.
In this presentation we will take a look at the research behind ACEs and resilience practices recommended for people with a history of childhood trauma or chronic stress, including our clients with a cancer history.
