Adverse Childhood Experiences Summit

Child well-being depends on safe, nurturing, stable environments that help kids develop sound cognitive and emotional skills and a robust sense of their own identity. Adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, are defined broadly as incidents during childhood that threaten to dramatically upset these environments. 

A growing body of research has established the link between adverse childhood experiences and a host of health problems and risk behaviors in adulthood. Join us Monday, June 11, 2012 for the Iowa ACEs Summit to learn about these often overlooked root causes of adult disease and disability and innovative solutions for reversing Iowa's trends.
