Center on Childhood Adversity and Resilience
Center for Integrative Research on Childhood Adversity

Researchers are bringing together biological and behavioral approaches to help children, teens, and families affected by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) heal and reduce long-term health effects.

What this research studies
If my child or family has experienced childhood adversity, this center supports teams of scientists who study how early stress affects the brain, hormones, immune system, and behavior. They fund pilot projects and build labs so findings can move from basic science toward practical prevention and recovery programs. The work combines clinical, community, and laboratory methods and aims to create tools that clinicians and communities can use. Over time the center hopes to turn those discoveries into better screening, supports, and treatments for affected children and families.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for related studies include children, adolescents, and families who have experienced ACEs, as well as adults who had significant childhood adversity and are willing to take part in research.
Not a fit: People whose health concerns are unrelated to childhood adversity or who do not want to participate in research are unlikely to receive direct benefit from this center's projects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the center could lead to new ways to prevent or reduce long-term physical and mental health problems linked to childhood adversity.
How similar studies have performed: Prior studies have linked ACEs to long-term health problems and identified biological pathways, but translating those findings into effective prevention and healing programs is still evolving and partly untested.
