ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) are an Anthro-Socio-Psycho-Physiological phenomenon. They occur in a cultural and family setting.. They affect how we think, what we think, how we act, and can shorten lives by 20 years. Effective treatment involves being responsive to the needs of all young families and children and having trauma informed resources for all ages.
PACEs and the Social Sciences
PACEs occur in societal, cultural and household contexts. Social science research and theory provide insight into these contexts for PACEs and how they might be altered to prevent adversity and promote resilience. We encourage social scientists of various disciplines to share and review research, identify mechanisms, build theories, identify gaps, and build bridges to practice and policy.
