Children who have lived with domestic abuse may experience depression, severe anxiety, poor concentration levels and focus. They may have difficulty learning and limited social skills, exhibit violent, risky or delinquent behaviour. #ACEs #traumainformed

[Midlands ACEs Hub (Ireland) @HubAces]

Studies show that the more adverse childhood experiences a person has, the higher their risk of non-communicable disease. #ACEs may increase an individual’s risk of:
•Asthma
•Depression
•Coronary heart disease
•Stroke
•Diabetes
