| Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) |
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) refers to potentially traumatic experiences that happen throughout childhood (0–17 years), such as being the victim of assault, abuse, or neglect; witnessing violence in the home, etc. MCSHP encourages all qualified providers to get certified to screen for ACEs. These screenings can reduce stress and increase health outcomes for children. By identifying these traumatic experiences early, children can be provided with greater compassion, patience, and the opportunity for relational healing through targeted clinical interventions. To learn more about ACEs and ACEs screening please visit the links below. For any additional questions regarding ACEs please contact Memorial Care Select Health Plan Quality/Health Education Department at MCSelectQuality@memorialcare.org Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): Leveraging the Best Available Evidence How to get certified to screen for ACEs.
