Children experiencing multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are exposed to threatening and harmful environments on a regular basis.

Exposure to several adverse childhood experiences has been found to increase the risk of attempting suicide by as much as 1200%, the risk of getting lung disease by 400%, and can reduce life span by even 20 years in case of ACE scores of 6 or more.

A higher ACE exposure is also associated with a 4 time increase in prevalence of mental illness whilst still in childhood itself.

"Toxic stress response can occur when a child experiences strong, frequent, and/or prolonged adversity—such as physical or emotional abuse, neglect, caregiver substance abuse or mental illness, exposure to violence, and/or the accumulated burdens of family economic hardship—without adequate adult support. This kind of prolonged activation of the stress-response systems can disrupt the development of brain architecture and other organ systems, and increase the risk for stress-related disease and cognitive impairment, well into the adult years"- Nadine Burke
