Grant: Prize - IHDCYH Talks - Infographics

This infographic provides educators, caregivers, and other stakeholders who support the health and well-being of children and youth with information on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs are stressful or traumatic events that may occur before the age of 18. People who experience ACEs are at a greater risk of developing chronic diseases and substance use disorders that persist into adulthood. This infographic aligns with IHDCYH’s mandate as it describes ACEs, the impact that ACEs have on children and youth, as well as provides strategies that can help educators, caregivers, and others support young people who have ACEs. Addressing the needs of children and youth who have experienced trauma can help them experience a healthier and happier trajectory into adulthood.
