2013 Iowa Adverse Childhood Experiences Summit: Data Into Action - Crafting a Response to Iowa's ACE Score

October 14, 2013

Hear first-ever Iowa data on adverse childhood experiences and their impact on adult health. Explore possible responses to the findings through local and national stories. Take action to strengthen our communities!

Overview

The groundbreaking Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study revealed a direct correlation between traumatic (”adverse”) childhood experiences and a wide range of emotional, cognitive, physical and behavioral challenges in youth and adults. The Central Iowa ACEs 360 Steering Committee has undertaken efforts to survey Iowa’s population and to analyze how ACEs impact the state’s overall health and well-being. This information is a critical step in beginning to understand and address many of our state’s most costly medical, psychiatric and social problems.

Target Audience

Anyone who wishes to learn more about the impact of childhood trauma and work to address this issue. Suggested audiences: health care providers, educators, law enforcement, judicial system, family support workers, counselors, public officials, business executives, and child and family advocates.
