Researchers have identified a list of adverse childhood experiences, or ACES, that are major factors in lingering trauma. These ACES are negative events that, if too severe, raise a child's stress levels.
In a story on Spectrum News, Robert Shapiro, MD, professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the UC College of Medicine and ACES researcher talked about the importance of having the proper policies in place to help young people succeed.
"Policy can go a long way towards building communities that support our youth," Shapiro said. "Kids need to grow up in a world where they feel that there is hope, where there's a chance for them to succeed."
