Did you know that traumatic experiences during childhood can put kids at higher risk for chronic disease, mental illness and substance abuse later in life? Your child’s provider may screen for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) while taking their medical history.
Teen suicide
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for 15-to-24-year-olds. Studies have shown there are warning signs in most suicide attempts. That's why it's important to know the warning signs and get help for your child if you see them.
