An American study published in 1998 identified a link between a person experiencing adversities in childhood and their physical and emotional health, life choices and behaviours into adulthood 🏃‍♀️ 🧠 ❤️

There are many types of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and being aware of them and of what you can do to address them is important for you and those around you ⭐

To find out more visit 👉 growing-stronger.org

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are very stressful (traumatic) experiences that can happen in a child’s life. They can be a series of things that happen over time that put us into a state of fear and toxic stress, or they can be a single event 🧠💢

These experiences aren't our fault. Everyone responds to differently, but we know that early exposure to these adverse experiences can have an effect on how we live, grow and learn that can last throughout our lifetime 👶 ➡️ 👨‍🦳

We also know that exposure to ACEs does not mean that you will experience negative effects. There are ways we can recover and overcome any adversity - YOU can decide what happens next ⭐️ Find out more here 👉 growing-stronger.org

Check out our latest bus campaign for Growing Stronger, in which we're aiming to raise awareness of the positive things that you and others can do to for healthier lives and futures ✨

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled across Liverpool over the next couple of weeks to see our campaign! 👀
