This one-page toolkit introduces Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and explains how stressful or traumatic experiences during childhood can affect a child’s development, learning, behavior, and overall well-being. It helps families, educators, and professionals better understand how experiences such as trauma, instability, or chronic stress may impact children both emotionally and academically.
The resource also emphasizes the importance of supportive relationships, resilience, and trauma-informed approaches that can help children feel safe, supported, and successful. By increasing awareness of ACEs and their effects, the guide encourages families and professionals to work together in creating positive environments that support healthy development and long-term well-being.
