Poverty and its lasting imprint

Chris Engel 10/30/136:21 PM

"Social workers include childhood poverty in a term titled “ACEs” or Adverse Childhood Experiences. Poverty, neglect, abuse, trauma, all may contribute to challenges in adulthood, challenges from mild learning disabilities to criminal behavior.

"As we look at our society and wonder how to address challenging problems, perhaps the answer is in part at the very beginning: good pre-natal care for pregnant women and education, support and opportunities for families. Seems the very least we can offer our children is a secure beginning."
