Adverse Childhood Experiences - Therapeutic Interventions

The programme will outline the increasing evidence of the impact of Adverse Experiences of Childhood (ACEs) on the health and well-being of children and young people extending into adult life. There is a growing demand for interventions to prevent their harmful effects. Research will be reviewed about the impact of ACEs through population studies; intergenerational studies; and specific groups – self harming; mental health; and substance abuse; offending; and violent behaviour.
