Abstract
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to poor health outcomes, creating a need for accessible intervention. Accordingly, we will investigate the efficacy of arts interventions in promoting efficient regulation of physiological stress responses following acute stressors, and their potential buffering role for those with exposure to ACEs.
