Research Question:What are the essential components of Physical-Activity Based Programs to Best Improve the Physical and Psychological Well-Being of Youth Exposed to Adverse Childhood Experiences?
Thesis Statement:In order to improve the physical and psychological well-being of children with ACEs, it is critical for programs to include physical exercise, mentoring, and time in nature. Each of these promotes physical and psychological well-being by buffering the biological effects of toxic stress on the body and reducing the odds of developing mental disorders including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic-stress-disorder.
