What are ACES?

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have a dramatically detrimental effect on a person’s lifelong mental and physical health and well-being. But there is hope and resilience might be the key. This is why we set out to create and host this summit!

By leveraging collective skills and expertise we can create and sustain safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments for all children and families to prevent ACEs and help all children reach their full potential as empowered stronger, healthier, happier citizens and future leaders.
