ACEs and PCEs in the Primary Care Setting

Wilmington, DE US
April 29, 2026

In primary care, ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) are traumatic events (abuse, neglect, household dysfunction) linked to adult illness, prompting screening and trauma-informed care, while PCEs (Positive Childhood Experiences) are supportive interactions (safe environments, supportive relationships) that buffer ACEs' effects, improving health outcomes like mental well-being, emphasizing that a focus on both ACEs and PCEs helps providers offer holistic, resilience-building care to prevent long-term health issues.
