Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs)

What is it?

The study found that positive childhood experiences (PCEs) show a dose-response relationship with adult mental and relational health—in other words, for those with exposure to ACEs, those with more PCEs showed better lifelong mental and relational health than those with fewer PCEs (Positive Experience, 2019).
