About the conference
Over 25 years ago, the landmark study by Felitti and colleagues coined the term ACEs by examining how exposure to abuse and household challenges were associated with increased health and mental health risks among nearly 10,000 adults. It also laid the foundation for exploring the mechanisms through which ACEs exert their influence on individual health, functioning, and wellbeing. At the same time, a growing body of research also highlights the role of protective factors in mitigating the risks posed by ACEs. However, they state despite the exponential ACEs research, progress in developing effective prevention and intervention strategies has been disappointingly limited. For example, in the United States, the prevalence of ACEs over a 14-year period from 2009 to 2022 has increased slightly and evidence-based interventions for preventing exposure to ACEs remain scarce
