Are ACEs Overplayed?

Adrian Alexander 4/16/2112:00 AM

Hello everyone! It's Friday again. To send you into the weekend, we want to ask you to put your thinking caps on.

In reading the literature, it is clear that there is no unanimity with respect to the role that the Adverse Childhood Experiences study should have in guiding public health. One nation in which there has been much thought given to the issue is Scotland.

In 2019 two advocates squared off to share their respective points of view as to the value of the ACEs research and how best it should be utilised. The article was titled. "Are ACEs Overplayed?" and formed part of a series of conversations on early years education.

In the article, Aberlour CEO, SallyAnn Kelly, and developmental psychologist, Suzanne Zeedyk, discussed whether the Adverse Childhood Experiences approach is too narrow or offers the potential for real societal change.

Please read it in the attachment and feel free to share your thoughts as to how this may apply to the Caribbean as a region.
