Hi Katie
You are working on a PowerPoint. I have some images that may be fun to use. 
And under the factor for every major disease ( according to the CDC )
This is some data. Not ACEs data but based on ACEs.
The 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) collects information on the reasons people misuse prescription psychotherapeutic drugs. NSDUH is an annual survey of the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 12 years or older and is the primary source for statistical information on illicit drug use, alcohol use, substance use disorders, and mental health issues for this population. One of NSDUH's strengths is its large sample size, which allows for examinations of prescription drug misuse and the reason for that misuse.

- PRESCRIPTION PAIN RELIEVERS 91.8 million
- PRESCRIPTION TRANQUILIZERS 38.2 million
- PRESCRIPTION STIMULANTS 4.8 million
- PRESCRIPTION SEDATIVES 18 million
- SELF DESCRIBED BINGE DRINKERS 65 million
- COMBINED TOTAL ALCOHOL AND PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE 209.8 million
Note: This does not take into account the 553,000 + homeless Americans we now have. The numbers are likely to be higher than 66% of living Americans.
Years Loss Of Life ( YLOL )
To put this data in a way that my mind can grasp it the CDC states that people will lose 10 years of life if they have an ACEs score of 4> and 20 years loss of life if their ACEs score is 5> . So let's look at Years Loss Of Life. This is not easy to see as it happens at the end of life say from an expected life of 80 to be reduced to 70 years old at death.
To compare from 1950 the U.S. Military Has Killed 20-30 Million People since World War II in 37 victim nations. Years Loss of Life ( YLOL) is 25 million x 42years ( median age) =1,050,000,000. 1 billion 50 million years loss of life from all the US involvement in wars from 1950 till now.
In this same amount of time because of ACEs we in America have YLOL at -10 years each of 2/3 of 157 million Americans = 1,053,400,000 ( 1 billion 53 million YLOL )
Based on ACEs science this current generation is 209.8 million Americans “The 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)” have potential Years Loss of Life at 10 years each = 2,098,000,000 ( 2 billion 98 million YLOL )
The word holocaust fits the facts. We are in a slow but deadly holocaust. An invisible holocaust. I am almost 70 now and can say the golden years are the best years of life. We are losing our elders in their golden years from not seeing the impact that unresolved Adverse Childhood Experiences have on a person's life. This cuts across all economic and educational backgrounds.
