What Are ACES?
The term 'Adverse Childhood Experiences' is credited to Dr Vincent Filletti who carried out a study of over 17,000 patients in the 1990's.
His study was the first to identify the relationship between difficult childhoods and problems throughout a lifetime. The original ten ACEs were:
​
​
-
Sexual Abuse
-
Physical Abuse
-
Emotional Abuse
-
Neglect
-
Parental Separation
-
Parental Mental ill-Health
-
Parental Drug Use
-
Parental Alcohol Abuse
-
Parent in Prison
-
Domestic Violence
​
More recent studies have shown that there are many more examples of adversities which can have a detrimental lifelong impact on a child.
