Please welcome these two new communities to ACEs Connection:
Details about each one of these communities can be found below.
ACEs and the Social Sciences: ACEs occur in societal, cultural and household contexts. Social science research and theory provide insight into these contexts for ACEs and how they might be altered to prevent adversity and promote resilience. We encourage social scientists of various disciplines to share and review research, identify mechanisms, build theories, identify gaps, and build bridges to practice and policy.
Community Managers: Dennis Haffron, James Halm and Craig McEwen
The Rainbow Resilience Connection of LGBTQ+Survivors: Welcome! This group is for anyone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ Community or who supports the community.
Community Managers: @Former Member and @Mary Giuliani
