  In this latest episode of Let's Talk Preventative Healthcare, we explore the crucial topic of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their impact on health outcomes. Our host, Tracey is joined by Dr Kate Ford, a research fellow at Bangor University and research lead at the Public Health Collaborating Centre with Public Health Wales. Dr Ford shares insights from a decade of groundbreaking research on ACEs in Wales, discussing the first Welsh ACE study conducted in 2015 and its significant findings. She explains how ACEs affect individuals throughout their lives and highlights the ongoing work in schools and health services to prevent ACEs and provide trauma-informed care. This episode offers extremely valuable knowledge for anyone interested in public health, childhood development, and the long-term effects of early life experiences on overall well-being
