Parents Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Adverse childhood experiences, commonly referred to as ACEs, are traumatic events that occur in a child's life before the age of 18. ACEs are often categorized into three main groups: abuse, neglect, household dysfunction and/or homelessness. Within these groupings are more specific types of ACEs such as physical abuse, emotional neglect, substance misuse, and divorce or separation. These early traumatic experiences can significantly impact a child’s growth, development, and overall well-being. Fentanyl Laced Pills More teenagers than ever are overdosing. Drug cartels and drug dealers are making fentanyl and pressing it into fake pills. Fake pills are made to look like OxyContin®, Xanax®, Adderall®, and other pharmaceuticals. These fake pills contain no legitimate medicine and are easily accessible and often sold on social media and e-commerce platforms, making them available to anyone with a smartphone. DEA officials report a dramatic rise in the number of fake pills containing at least 2 mg of fentanyl, which is considered a potentially lethal dose.
