The Realizing the Impact series is taking a deeper look at the Pandemic Echo cost on infants and children. In this series we have examined the sharp rise in substance use/prenatal expo- sure, trauma, and stressors on children. In this session, we will dive into the concerns related to children and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
