Scotland is on a journey.

More and more of us are coming to understand the impact of childhood distress on adult health and happiness.

Since 2017, tens of thousands of Scots have joined in this national discussion. Individuals and organisations have found a range of ways to act on the insights of this science.

Between 2018 and 2024, ACE-Aware Scotland put on large-scale, annual events with the goal of bringing this information to the public. International speakers brought inspiration and ideas. Attendees brought energy and hope.

We thank everyone who has joined us at any of those events.

Relationships are key to prevention and recovery from trauma.

We believe in the transformative power of compassion.
