Educational Courses Based on Dr. Vincent Felitti's ACE Study

The Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Study is a major research study that compares current adult health status to childhood experiences deacades earlier.

The ACE Study reveals a powerful relation between our emotional experiences as children and our adult emotional health, physical health, and major causes of mortality in the United States.

→ ​64% of US Adults reported they had experienced at least one type of ACE before age 18

→ 1.9 million heart disease cases and 21 million depression cases potentially could have been avoided

→ All Children in Risk. Numerous studies have show inequalities in such experiences linked to the historical, social and economic environments

Through our Trauma-Resilient Professional certification for individuals and Trauma-Resilient Organization accreditation for organizations, TREC prioritizes the well-being and mental health of both the staff and those they serve recognizing the prevalence and impact of trauma and implementing trauma-resilient strategies to support healing, resilience, and success for all.
