The ACE Study has uncovered how Adverse Childhood Experiences are strongly related to development and prevalence of risk factors for disease & health and social well-being throughout the lifespan. This study has informed our advocates and their interaction with clients in accordance with an understanding of the developmental and long-term effects of childhood trauma, and how such experiences manifest themselves in adults. The consequences of the unaddressed problem of Adverse Childhood Experiences along the continuum of life are as follows; Adverse Childhood Experiences result in Social, Emotional and Cognitive Impairment, leading to an Adoption of Health-Risk Behaviors which in turn result in Disease, Disability, and Social-Problems. The final ramification of this trajectory is Early Death.

Community Support Center staff are passionate about implementing an ACE Program in Beaverhead County. We have witnessed the impact that childhood trauma has had on our clients. There is a need for broader education in the area of ACEs to create a trauma-
informed community capable of responding to and preventing such experiences in our youth, thus mitigating the destructive and costly manifestations in adults. To build a trauma-informed community, we offer training to those in the community who interact with children and trauma-impacted adults.

The significance of an ACE program lies in the power of awareness.
Preventative measures and more effective screening become possible when professionals and parents alike are cognizant of the later-in-life health risks associated with early childhood adversity. 
Join us and the Beaverhead County ACEs Task Force in creating an ACE Informed Community.
