The world faces a crisis of unprecedented proportions, with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and other lifetime traumas reaching all-time highs. This book is a valuable resource for promoting optimal brain function for individuals of all ages, but it is particularly crucial for survivors of trauma, who are at heightened risk throughout their lives. It is essential for healthcare providers, educators, administrators, public safety professionals, foster and adoptive parents, employers, and loved ones to grasp the potential lifelong consequences ACEs can have on survivors.

In the first half of the book, we delve into the complexities behind why behaviors occur when individuals who have been hurt harm themselves and others. We explore the potential damage that trauma can inflict on the brain and body, leading to life-long poor bio-behavioral health outcomes. The second half of the book focuses on preventing, mitigating, or potentially reversing these outcomes.

This book is a must-read for everyone interested in optimizing brain function, especially survivors of ACEs and other trauma throughout their lives. Its primary focus is on preventing long-term negative consequences of trauma and restoring the brain, body, behavior, and emotions.

Notably, this book has achieved remarkable recognition, winning four American Journal of Nursing (AJN) Book of the Year Awards. It secured first place in three categories: Community/Home Health, Creative Works, and Psychiatric/Mental Health, and third place in the Consumer Health category. Since AJN began acknowledging high-quality publications on nursing and healthcare topics in 1969, no book has ever won this many AJN awards.

In conclusion, the world is grappling with a crisis of ACEs and trauma, and this book offers a valuable solution. By understanding the complexities behind behaviors and the potential consequences of trauma, we can work towards preventing, mitigating, and reversing these outcomes. This book is a testament to the importance of optimizing brain function and promoting well-being for all individuals, especially those who have faced adversity.
