For this discussion board, we're doing to delve deeper into ACEs (adverse childhood experiences). The experiences discussed in ACEs are difficult including violence and abuse. I want to give a content warning for this topic. Give yourself space to complete the assignment and let me know if you have any concerns. ACEs are critical to be aware of due to their significant impact on health outcomes and their pervasiveness.
