Over 5.5 MILLION page views per MONTH! ITs FREE ACEs Connection is a social network that accelerates the global movement toward recognizing the impact of adverse childhood experiences in shaping adult behavior and health, and reforming all communities and institutions -- from schools to prisons to hospitals and churches -- to help heal and develop resilience rather than to continue to traumatize already traumatized people. ACEs Connection Network, comprising ACEs Too High and ACEs Connection, receives generous support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The California Endowment. The network achieves this by creating a safe place and a trusted source where members share information, explore resources and access tools that help them work together to create resilient families, systems and communities. A companion site, ACEsTooHigh.com, provides news to the general public as part of the ACEs Connection Network.

6 Supporting Communities to Accelerate ACEs Science
ACes Connection supports ACEs Initiatives in communities throughout California. The goal of ACEs initiatives in communities is to have every organization integrate trauma-information and resilience-building practices based on ACEs science. In this presentation, I’ll show you how ACEs Connection supports that goal.

10 Geographic Communities
Interest-Based Communities Communities organized by discipline/field. Geographic Communities Communities organized within specific geographic area such as a neighborhood, city, county, region, state, or nation. Members are part of home page/site as well as smaller interest based and geo communities. Supporting our members through connecting with other communities of practice, providing tools and resources to support local capacity building, and curating the best practices and innovative approaches of sustainable systems of care, hope, and healing, ACEs Connection communities foster sharing and learning together through our living digital library.
