What are Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)? What is the lasting legacy of childhood trauma and what impact does it have on the development of the brain? What’s all this got to do with you anyway? By using a mixture of poetry and scientific information, the answer to these questions are provided, giving a unique insight into the impact of ACEs and the simple things organisations can do provide safe, trauma informed environments.
