Research indicates that many of our most stubborn health and social problems stem from adversity and toxic stress experienced in childhood.
The landmark Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study found that a buildup of adversity and toxic stress during development is the strongest predictor of public health outcomes tied to the 10 top causes of death in the U.S., as well as the likelihood of the educational, occupational, and social challenges that affect our communities.
Health, prosperity and well-being for all
