| Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’S) | Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are “highly stressful, and potentially traumatic, events or situations that occur during childhood and/or adolescence. They can be a single event, or prolonged threats to, and breaches of, the young person’s safety, security, trust, or bodily integrity.” (Young Minds, 2018).
Examples of ACEs:
• Physical abuse
• Sexual Abuse
• Emotional Abuse
• Living with someone who abused drugs
• Living with someone who abused alcohol
• Exposure to domestic violence
• Living with someone who has gone to prison
• Living with someone with serious mental illness
• Losing a parent through divorce, death or abandonment
| The internet hosts an abundance of information on ACE’s and as practitioners it is important that we understand how these experiences can affect the lives of the children we care for as we help them to grow and develop.

| Young Minds | More young people than ever before need support for their mental health and accessing that support quickly, can make a critical difference to those young people. Yet, most of the time those young people need to wait. And wait. And wait.
We have called our strategy ‘You Matter’ because, ultimately, that is what this is all about. We need young people to know that whatever they are going through, they matter, and they deserve help. And each and every one of us needs to acknowledge that, to those young people, we matter and the role we can play is vital.
