At the CEO Foundation, we are a coalition of women united by the belief that every child deserves a future filled with hope and opportunity. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) profoundly impact the development and well-being of countless children, shaping their lives in ways that can last a lifetime. The urgency of addressing these issues cannot be overstated, and that's where our mission begins. Our organization stands as a beacon of support and resilience for organizations that serve children facing the harsh realities of trauma. Through innovative programs and evidence-based practices, we are dedicated to breaking the cycle of adversity. Our holistic approach includes educational initiatives, advocacy, and community engagement—all tailored to nurture healing and foster resilience.
Raising awareness about ACEs is crucial for fostering a compassionate and informed society. By understanding the profound impact of these experiences, we can work together to create environments that promote healing and resilience. Every child deserves the chance to grow up in a safe and supportive setting, free from the shadows of their past. Our organization is committed to facilitating comprehensive workshops designed to foster emotional intelligence, break the cycle of generational trauma, and ultimately contribute to a stronger economy.
Types of Adverse Childhood Experiences
Support the Fight Against Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
An estimated 61% of adults across various states have encountered at least one type of adverse childhood experience. This statistic mirrors the widespread nature of ACEs, emphasizing that they are not isolated incidents but a public health issue that touches many lives.
Individuals with four or more ACEs are at a significantly increased risk of developing chronic health issues, such as heart disease, cancer, respiratory diseases, and diabetes. This correlation highlights the long-lasting impact of early adversity on physical health.
The presence of four or more ACEs elevates the risk of depression later in life by approximately 4.5 times compared to those with no ACEs. This statistic sheds light on the profound emotional and psychological scars left by childhood trauma.
