“ACEs” stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences or Adverse Community Environments. Study after study shows that ACEs, such as abuse, neglect, violence, and poverty (to name a few risk factors), cause toxic stress and can lead to significant health, behavioral, and societal issues.
Resilience is the ability to withstand or recover from difficult conditions. It allows us to think clearly, make intentional choices, communicate, and connect with others during stressful situations. Our resilience can be affected when we have frequent or long exposure to toxic stress from ACEs (especially when we don’t have protective factors to act as our “adversity buffer”).
A trauma-informed approach is a framework for addressing the origins of a challenge so we can build resilience, achieve higher quality outcomes, and break the cycle of intergenerational trauma. When we apply a trauma-informed approach, we realize the symptoms ACEs can cause, dig deeper to recognize the root causes of these symptoms, and respond to the underlying need. This process allows us to resist going back to old habits and to create more resilient organizations and communities.
