Whether your ACE score is 1 or 17, there are personal strategies and community resources that exist to support you. Having strong, stable relationships and using your support are ways to build your resilience. These can assist in breaking the cycle of ACEs in your family. Reaching out to a trusted member of your community, such as a trusted neighbor or friend, a teacher, a leader in your community, or a church or spiritual leader is another way to get support. Supporting and strengthening communities can build everyone’s resilience and can lessen the impact of ACEs on you and your family.
