It has been said that the ACES survey is important for everyone to know about, why?

What are ACE scores?
An ACE score is a tally of different types of abuse, neglect, and other hallmarks of a rough childhood.
According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study, the rougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be and the higher your risk for later health problems

Why is the phrase “ACES are not destiny” important?

The increased public understanding that childhood adversity, including ACEs, can cause trauma and toxic stress—and, in turn, have a lasting impact on children’s physical and mental health—presents an important opportunity to turn this awareness into action.
