The future prosperity of any society depends on its ability to foster the health and well-being of the next generation. When Tennessee invests wisely in children and families, the next generation will pay that back through a lifetime of productivity and responsible citizenship. This presentation will explore how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) harm the developing brains and bodies of children compromising the foundation for lifelong health. The ACE research has resulted in child abuse and neglect being acknowledged as a major public health problem and a leading cause of early death. This presentation will also identify community-based, trauma-informed strategies to prevent and mitigate ACEs and build resilience in children, as well as addressing ACEs throughout the lifespan. Understanding the ACE research deepens professional knowledge across sectors and creates a common language for collectively addressing community challenges.
