Children can't learn until they feel safe
Picture

In 1998 two doctors brought together by the Centers for Disease Control and Kaiser Permanente healthcare plan in
​San Diego, initiated what is now famously known as the ACE's study.
ACE stands for 
Adverse Childhood Experiences, also known as traumatic experiences.  ACE's are extremely stressful experiences in childhood ​that can alter brain development and have lifelong effects on health and behavior. 
Although there are many ways a child may experience trauma, doctors Felitti and Anda found there were 10 types of adversity, or trauma, most commonly mentioned in the study.  The study revealed as the count of ACE's a person experienced went up, their risk for all kinds of health and social problems went up.

"AS the ACE study has shown, child abuse and neglect is the single most preventable cause of mental illness, the single most common cause of drug and alcohol abuse, and a significant contributor to leading causes of death such as diabetes, heart disease,
​cancer, stroke, and suicide."
