I am so happy to see ACEs covered in Politico this morning! Politico, if you're not familiar with it, is a respected publication in DC that all the policy wonks read on the Metro on their way to work every morning. So many influencial eyeballs will have this on their radar today!
My favorite tidbit from the article is this:
"At many talks, she said, she hears from someone acting as a primary caregiver, such as a grandmother caring for her grandchild.
'Once she begins to put the pieces together and realizes that not only does this child have significant ACEs, her own child has significant ACEs, which probably contributed to their inability to parent, and that she herself is carrying around a significant number of ACEs, things start to click,” she said. “More than one time, I’ve heard an elderly grandparent say, ‘Now I get it.’'"
