Number Story shines a light on ACES Awareness
THE CHALLENGE:
Introducing ACES to the Public
The effects of toxic stress brought on by Adverse Childhood Experiences and other childhood adversity can be embedded throughout our entire being, creating ripple effects that impact every area of our lives over time. Number Story set out to encourage people to know their number—one which doesn’t define them but instead serves as an entry point into our own personal story.
THE SOLUTION:
