The Impact of ACEs on Black Maternal Health

The California Black Health Network (CBHN) is hosting an ACES Aware Provider Engagement event for healthcare providers, health professionals, and community service providers on the impact of ACES on Black maternal health. This event is designed to help healthcare professionals recognize that toxic stress and the cumulative experience of racism and sexism can trigger a chain of biological processes, known as weathering, that undermine African American women’s physical and mental health, especially during pregnancy. The long-term physical and psychological can take a toll on individuals and the impact of toxic stress and racism puts African American women at higher risk for a range of medical conditions that threaten their lives and their infants’.
