Hi! Some states have taken the time to quantify what the economic effects of ACEs look like for their residents, and I think it is difficult to do so on a large, general scale, but we can use some of this information as a guide. I wanted to share this site from Tennessee https://www.sycamoreinstitutetn.org/economic-cost-adverse-childhood-experiences. Also, When discussing that ACEs have already happened to someone, and also any time we are discussing ACEs at all, I think it is important to have the ACEs conversation alongside a conversation about resiliency. Since ACEs are not determinant, we have to focus on those core components of resilience like a sense of belonging, coping skills, connection, etc. Fostering these skills through the community are easier than to just think about social services approaches, and a whole lot cheaper too! I hope this helps you in some way!
