The Science: 4 Realms of ACEs Our work is rooted by the science of ‘ACEs’, which is defined in four ways: Adverse Childhood Experiences: Impact individual & interpersonal conditions. Examples include parental mental illness, substance abuse, interpersonal violence, homelessness, incarceration, divorce, death, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, caregiver separation, and medical crisis. Adverse Community Experiences: Impact population conditions. Examples include poverty, structural racism, community disinvestment, police violence, lack of affordable housing, lack of opportunity and economic mobility, discrimination, disconnected relationships, unemployment, and deteriorating built environments. Adverse Climate Experiences: Impact community conditions. Examples include COVID-19, climate change, wildfires, droughts, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, environmental injustice, and pollution. Atrocious Cultural Experiences: Impact macro and socio-historical conditions. Examples include slavery, genocide, colonization, segregation, forced family separation, removal of property, and other harmful social norms such as low sense of political and social efficacy and mistrust.
