Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) - June 18, 2021
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) - June 18, 2021
Hey everyone! This is my first blog post and today I will be talking about Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACEs. Some of you may have already seen the infographic that I had posted on my Instagram account! You may click above to view the post on my Instagram.
ACEs can stem from many potentially traumatic childhood events, such as a parent's divorce or domestic violence around you. These events can impact you later in life and may affect your relationships with others. If you believe that you are suffering from PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc. as a result, please consult with a mental health professional on these issues. There are also 24 hour hotlines available to you in an emergency. You are not alone.
Please listen to the video above by Nadine Burke Harris, who is a Canadian-American Surgeon General of California and pediatrician, on how ACEs affect public health. You may also take the ACEs quiz by the American SPCC here: https://americanspcc.org/take-the-aces-quiz/

Getting Help - June 20, 2021
Getting Help - June 20, 2021
For anyone in need, getting help can be hard. There is a fear of what may happen next, if you will be treated fairly, and what others may think. There are many unknowns when you get help and you may not receive answers that you want to hear. Understanding that the right help is out there will bring you comfort. It may not be right away, but it will definitely come to those who search for it.
Despite promises made by an abuser to halt and/ or change their behavior must be assumed to be unlikely. You are better off finding help with those who you know to be trustworthy. Whether that is going to the police in times of trouble, talking to a close adult (such as a parent or teacher), or even telling your doctor what is going on.
Sometimes, it is okay to lie to your abuser. This is usually only for times when you're getting immediate help, though.
Always be cautious and remember to stay safe. Emergency numbers are listed at the bottom of this site. Remember to clear your search history.

Red Flags - June 21, 2021
It may not always be apparent to those who are facing threats of abuse. Yellow flags turn into red and the lines may become blurred. The abuser will normally condition their partner to tolerate their behaviors.
If you think that you may be in danger, seek out help from hotlines, trusted friends, or lawyers, if necessary. Look toward seeking financial independence in situations that may be threathening. You may also think about looking for a therapist that can help work through your trauma endured, as a result of domestic violence.
