 , or ACEs\, are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood. Also
  included are aspects of the child’s environment that can undermine thei
 r sense of safety\, stability\, and bonding.\n\nMany other traumatic exper
 iences could impact health and wellbeing\, such as not having enough food 
 to eat\, experiencing homelessness or unstable housing\, or experiencing d
 iscrimination. ACEs are linked to chronic health problems\, mental illnes
 s\, and substance use problems in adolescence and adulthood. ACEs can also
  negatively impact education\, job opportunities\, and earning potential. 
 However\, ACEs can be prevented. Come learn more to help support children 
 in your learning environments.\n\nPrioritizing Our Health and Wellbeing: A
