“The effects of children experiencing homelessness or who are in poverty are widespread. These fragile children are more likely than their peers to experience delays in learning, cognitive impairment, and social-emotional trauma. It has been well documented that until a child has his/her basic needs met, he/she will be unavailable to learn. SHIP is providing the critical resources needed to remove barriers to learning and to help the students and families of Frederick County succeed.”

Dr. Markoe
Interim Superintendent
Frederick County Public Schools

Childhood experiences, both positive and negative, have a tremendous impact on future violence victimization and perpetration, and lifelong health and opportunity. As such, early experiences are an important public health issue. Much of the foundational research in this area has been referred to as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

Adverse Childhood Experiences have been linked to

– risky health behaviors
– chronic health conditions
– low life potential, and early death.

As the number of ACEs increase in a child’s life, so do the risk for these outcomes.

SHIP is working to help alleviate the impact of poverty and homeless upon our local students.
