2020-2022 Community Health Improvement Plan
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are traumatic experiences from abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. Toxic Stress is extreme, frequent, or extended activation of the body's stress response without supportive relationships. This impacts our neurology, our biology and can alter the course of childhood development. Did you know that toxic stress can also have damaging effects on learning, behavior, and health far into adulthood? We can do more to support our community during adverse situations by learning more about NEAR (Neuroscience, Epigenetics, ACEs and Resilience) sciences and how to mitigate the impact of ACEs while building resiliency across our own lifespans and those of the next generation.
