Identity
IDENTITY/IES
Who are you? How would you describe yourself to a stranger? How would your closest friends describe you? How did you become who you are today and what experiences have made you… you?
As we explore the concept of identity and its significance to who you are, I encourage you to keep thinking about everything that makes you unique. Then, ask yourself: how much can someone know about me just by my appearance—and, perhaps more importantly, how accurate would they be?

WHAT IS "IDENTITY"?
We are a combination of how we see ourselves and how others see us. The aspects of our "selves" that make up who we are, and the way we relate to social and historical categories, are called identities. Many of these aspects change over time. Therefore, our identities are not fixed and can shift based on context, experience, and many other factors.
The way we see ourselves is not always how we are viewed by others, which can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts in life.

ACE’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences)
Adverse Childhood Experiences have been linked to
risky health behaviors,
chronic health conditions,
low life potential, and
early death.
As the number of ACEs increases, so does the risk for these outcomes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95ovIJ3dsNk
There are 10 types of childhood trauma measured in the ACE Study.
Five are personal — physical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect.
Five are related to other family members: a parent who’s an alcoholic, a mother who’s a victim of domestic violence, a family member in jail, a family member diagnosed with a mental illness, and the disappearance of a parent through divorce, death or abandonment.

The first research results were published in 1998, followed by 57 other publications through 2011. They showed that:
childhood trauma was very common, even in employed white middle-class, college-educated people with great health insurance;
there was a direct link between childhood trauma and adult onset of chronic disease, as well as depression, suicide, being violent and a victim of violence;
more types of trauma increased the risk of health, social and emotional problems.
people usually experience more than one type of trauma – rarely is it only sex abuse or only verbal abuse.

In 2017, 8.5 million American adults suffered from both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder, or co-occurring disorders.
Drug abuse and addiction cost American society more than $740 billion annually in lost workplace productivity, healthcare expenses, and crime-related costs.
