The Academy on Violence and Abuse, which educates health care professionals about the often unrecognizable health effects of violence and abuse, produced a four-hour DVD of interviews with the co-founders of the CDC’s Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, released a 14-minute executive summary.
The organization released a three-minute teaser last year. For those unfamiliar with the ACE STudy, this 14-minute puts a little more meat on the bones.
And if you want to know what your ACE score is — as well as how you’re doing on building resilience into your life — go to the survey: Got Your ACE Score? The ACE survey has 10 questions, and the resilience survey has 14.

Parenting, the community we’re brought up in, and the times we live through. So, you may have wonderful parents, but your life may have been uprooted by war or a natural disaster and its long-term effects. Or, you may have wonderful parents and live in a very violent community where you witness murder or have friends who have been shot.
