“The people affected by ACEs, who largely outnumber the people who are unaffected by ACEs, can become a gear or a large moving force for social movement that can help drive people in the different service sectors to create new services and understand the kind of problems they have, and make a difference in the way they treat and direct the people that are affected by adversity.” - Dr. Robert Anda
