Words Matter – Adverse Childhood Experiences

CIPHER created the Words Matter campaign to share and promote a collective understanding of many well-known and used mental health terms that describe various occupationally related challenges many public safety personnel (PSP), healthcare workers (HCWs), veterans, and their families face every day. This infographic focuses on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) which are stressful or traumatic events occurring during childhood, which can have long-term negative effects on health and well-being.
