Every year 58,000 children are sent for custody or unprotected visitation with dangerous abusers.

Upon studying the personal records and interviewing the patients who left, Dr. Vincent Felitti came to understand that rather than a problem, the patients had viewed their excessive weight as a protective factor.

Domestic violence became a public issue at a time when virtually no scientific research was available.

Failure to integrate current scientific research. 

The ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Studies are medical research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that can be used to reduce cancer, heart disease, diabetes, mental illness, crime, substance abuse, suicide and many other horrible health and social problems.
