The San Francisco-based Center for Youth Wellness published the ACE study — “Hidden Crisis” — which looked at four years of data gathered by the annual California Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and revealed physical, mental and emotional health impacts that stem from traumatic childhood experiences.
