Caring Trusted Adults and ACEs | Student Mental Health Matters

This segment, from the documentary Resilience: Hope Lives Here, focuses on the resiliency of children who have gone through trauma. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) include abuse, neglect, divorce, and other traumas. Research shows that left unresolved or untreated these experiences can lead to health conditions in adulthood—such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Hear the lived experience of one young man as he uses his resilience to mentor other students.
