“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” - Frederick Douglas
Learning and doing something about ACEs could teach you or someone you love about childhood traumas that are related to depression, obesity, crime rates, and other health concerns.
The higher the ACE score, the higher the medical bills. Think of Adverse Childhood Experiences like an atomic wrecking ball destroying everything in its path. Long term and repeated exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences, also abbreviated as “ACEs” wreak havoc on the developing bodies and brains of children. Trauma is not just what happens to a child, trauma can also be what doesn’t happen to the child.

At ACEs Matter,
- We recognize that our childhood traumas push us to TOUGH THINGS out and not ask for professional help. We want to debunk that belief.
- We recognize that it takes time to find the JUST RIGHT help, so we strategically try and match you with a specialist that can meet your needs accordingly. We only get one first impression and we take that seriously.
- We recognize that affording the cost to seek services can be a barrier in marginalized communities, that is why we offer sliding scale and even free mental wellness support programs to help ACE survivors overcome their childhood struggles.
