(1/5) Good #SundayMorning! For this #SundaySpotlight I am highlighting a new @CDCgov #VitalSigns report on preventing adverse childhood experiences (#ACEs): bit.ly/VitalSignsACEs

@CDCgov (2/5) Childhood experiences, both positive and negative, have a tremendous impact on our lives. As such, ACEs are an important #PublicHealth concern. #SundayThoughts

@CDCgov (3/5) This #VitalSigns report shows that 1 in 6 adults have experienced four or more types of #ACEs. Preventing ACEs could reduce a large number of health conditions.

@CDCgov (4/5) Healthcare providers can play an important role by recognizing the risk in children, the history of #ACEs in adults, and referring patients to family services and support. Learn more in @JAMA_current article 👇

@CDCgov @JAMA_current (5/5) As a society, we need to continue this discussion around #ACEs to raise awareness, decrease stigma, and mitigate the health risks. There is too much #stigma around seeking help and we must act now to safeguard our future generations. #SundayThoughts
