The impact of adverse childhood experiences ( ACEs) has been well established since a landmark population-based study published in the late 1990s demonstrated a strong association between exposure to toxic stress in childhood and a wide range of adverse mental and physical health outcomes in adulthood, from substance use to cancer.
