Did you know childhood trauma can directly affect health outcomes as an adult? Based on a tally of different events characteristics of a rough child, known as an Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) score, you can predict a child's risk of developing health issues as an adult. It's like a cholesterol score for childhood trauma. For example, people with an ACE score of 4 are 2 times as likely to be smokers and 7x times more likely to be alcoholics. To learn more about ACE scores and the biology of stress, take in a free showing of the Resilience documentary sponsored by the Knox Health Planning Partnership. Upcoming showing include: Kenyon Wright Center, March 6 from 2:45-4:30 p.m. and from 5:45 - 7:30 p.m.; and MVNU Chapel Auditorium, April 6, from 6:45-8:30 p.m.
