and colleagues1 first described ACEs

and witness to violence.2 3 From the original cohort of 9508 American adults, more than half of respondents (52 %) experienced at least one
adverse childhood event.1 Since the original cohort, ACE exposures have been investigated globally revealing comparable prevalence to the original cohort.4 5 More recently in 2014, a survey of 4000 American children found that 60.8 % of children had at least one form of direct experience of violence, crime or abuse.6 The ACE study precipitated interest in the
health conditions of adults maltreated as children as it revealed links to chronic diseases such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, heart, lung

mental health, social support as well as between maternal

health.
