• Consider these two children:
  • Gabrielle experienced no adversity from birth to 5 years old (ACEs score of 0), but now many adverse events begin to occur, including abuse, parental divorce, and parental mental illness. Gabrielle has a loving extended family and community support.
  • Robert experienced some adversity from birth to 5 years old (ACEs score of 2) and has moved to a new living situation without family, and with no sense of belonging or community support.

THEN:

• Compare the two children's experiences, including risk and protective factors. How would you expect the children to navigate stress as they grow?

• Who might be more resilient, and why?

• Finally, how might these situations relate to physical and mental health when they are adults?
