Children who have lived with domestic abuse may experience depression, severe anxiety, poor concentration levels and focus. They may have difficulty learning and limited social skills, exhibit violent, risky or delinquent behaviour. #ACEs #traumainformed

Studies show that the more adverse childhood experiences a person has, the higher their risk of non-communicable disease. #ACEs may increase an individual’s risk of:
•Asthma
•Depression
•Coronary heart disease
•Stroke
•Diabetes
Learning some great tools for engaging with children, young people and families. Can't wait to get back to Portlaoise to try some of these methods. @HubAces @dr_treisman #KTCork2019 #Traumainformed #TraumaResponsive

Poverty, in all its forms, contributes to #ACEs We need to work together to influence policy to improve outcomes for children #familysupport #PoorOutcomesAreNotInevitable
We are delighted to be collaborating with the @IrishTimes to build a national conversation on the causes of child poverty and what it will take to end it. Join the conversation! Visit bit.ly/2RV83Bk #NoChild2020
