DESCRIPTION:Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)\, such as child maltreatm
 ent and bullying\, are well-established risk factors for biopsychosocial h
 ealth across the lifespan. However\, the pathways linking ACEs to various 
 negative outcomes remain less clear. The FACE longitudinal epidemiological
  study aims to identify the mechanisms through which ACEs contribute to la
 ter psychosocial difficulties\, with a particular focus on emotion regulat
 ion and social information processing/social skills. Additionally\, the st
 udy examines service use and barriers to professional help-seeking among y
 oung people with and without ACEs. The sample consists of 2\,500 Swiss eme
 rging adults from a randomly selected population.\n\nThe second component 
 of the project is the FACE intervention study\, which focuses on developin
 g and evaluating a guided self-help app for emerging adults with a history
  of ACEs. The intervention provides psychoeducational content on ACEs\, th
 eir consequences\, and related risk and resilience factors. It specificall
 y targets emotion regulation and social biases/social skills as potential 
 key mechanisms influencing psychosocial adaptation\, using a crossover des
 ign. The app is designed to enhance resilience\, well-being\, self-efficac
 y for coping with emotions\, and social problem-solving.\n\nThe talk will 
 present preliminary findings from both the epidemiological and interventio
 n studies and explore their clinical implications for the design of self-h
 elp apps.
