“What Happened to You? The ACE Study and Lifelong Consequences”

Summary:

In this podcast episode of Kids at Risk Action, Emma and Michael unpack the groundbreaking ACE Study, research that forever changed how we understand childhood trauma. They explore how early adversity doesn’t just impact emotions, it rewires the brain, alters the body, and shortens lives. With staggering statistics linking trauma to addiction, chronic illness, and suicide, they emphasize the urgent need for trauma-informed systems and early intervention. The message is clear: we can no longer wait until children break to believe them, prevention must begin now.

KARA/KIDS AT RISK ACTION/INVISIBLE CHILDREN

KARA has been funding the Financial Literacy Project, INVISIBLE CHILDREN Campus Programs, public presentations, books, and social media for many years. We have had a really impactful 25 years thanks to our followers.

But here’s the reality-as we are an advocacy group not providing service we live on donations alone. We want to keep the momentum going but we need the funds to do so…

So, we are asking for your help as a way to support all our efforts going forward. Please consider a monthly donation of 5 or 25$ to sustain KARA’s ongoing efforts.

An additional choice, would be to sponsor a our new Spotify Social media platform for $500 and receive recognition for you or your organization Thank you to those who have sponsored a KARA projects in the past!
