​A.C.E.  Adverse Childhood Experiences has been cited as one of the predominate causes of Mental Health Disturbance in an unacceptable percentage of adults; some citation reflects 60-70% in most cultures.   

​

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that affect children while growing up, such as suffering child maltreatment or living in a household affected by domestic violence, substance misuse or mental illness. This short, animated film has been developed to raise awareness of ACEs, their potential to damage health across the life course and the roles that different agencies can play in preventing ACEs and supporting those affected by them. The film has been produced for Public Health Wales and Blackburn with Darwen Local Authority.
