UWSC_ACES Case Statement Booklet FINAL

Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

ACEs are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood.

The more ACEs the greater the risk of harm. Research shows

that reducing the risk of ACEs and building upon protective

factors reduces the health and economic costs related to ACEs.

This is what we’re

driving towards –

A Brighter Future.

Here’s the thing:

Stark County children have more ACEs

than children in other communities.

In Ohio, the elimination of ACEs

would save more than $10B in

health care and related spending,

as well as $319M due to lost wages

from missed work. The costs of

interventions related to ACEs far

outweigh modest investments in

prevention in early childhood.
