Adverse Childhood Experiences can be growing up with a mentally ill parent, or a parent who went to prison, or being beaten up or watching your mother being beaten up at home or being subjected to sexual abuse.

Have you ever had an Adverse Childhood Experience as a child? If you have you are not alone.

Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) are any factors that can help children who have had Adverse Childhood Experiences.

@CBWeThrive has been doing inspiring work on measuring ACEs and finding systemic ways to combat them by increasing Positive Childhood Experiences such as improved relational health and community resilience

It is so important to have your story, what you have been through, what you have overcome, who you are now, who you want to be...what story do you tell yourself about yourself?

Recognizing the Positive Childhood Experiences we had as children is as important as acknowledging the Adverse Childhood Experiences we had. They are all part of our story

How can we protect children by decreasing ACEs and increasing PCEs? By being resilient and socially aware as a society, by acknowledging that mental health is a real thing and what each and every one of us says and does about it matters.

@PACEsConnection is a great network that has been talking about ACEs and PCEs in context of community awareness and responsibility, and how we are all in this together and need to work together to ensure the safety of children.

Because every child needs to have a chance at being happy, no matter what circumstances they are born into :)
