What is the ACE study? ACE stands for adverse childhood experiences. This study identified 10 adverse childhood experiences with early onset long-term impacts on physical health.
How are the findings relevant to domestic violence treatment? It is important that domestic violence offenders understand how their behaviors impact their children with these Adverse Childhood Experiences.
How do the ACE study findings inform domestic violence treatment providers about the criminogenic factors of domestic violence, child abuse, and substance abuse as they intersect? The ACE factors connect directly with the biopsychosocial aspects of domestic violence criminogenic factors of child abuse and substance abuse.
These three questions provide the overriding background to help domestic violence treatment providers provide their clients education about the long-term impact of domestic violence on their partners and children. The definitive and repeated findings of this study and subsequent studies tell us why intervention and treatment of domestic violence is so crucial. For example, did you know that early onset chronic illnesses starting in the mid-40s can be traced back to adverse childhood experiences (ACE)? These 10 factors include all forms of child abuse and neglect, witnessing violence perpetrated on the mother, parents having a substance-abuse problem, or one parent out of the home due to mental illness or being imprisoned.
