PACEs Connection is a social network that recognizes the impact of a wide variety of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in shaping adult behavior and health, and that promotes trauma-informed, healing-centered and resilience-building practices and policies in all families, organizations, systems, and communities.
We support communities to accelerate the science of positive and adverse childhood experiences to solve our most intractable problems. During the past year we have focused attention on each of our core areas: Prevention, Support, Community and Tools.
PACEs Connection supports local PACEs initiatives in neighborhoods, cities, counties, states, and nations. We provide initiatives with a free community site on PACEs Connection, guidelines on how to launch and grow local PACEs initiatives, and powerful online tools that help initiatives measure their progress. We also have interest-based communities, such as PACEs in Education and Parenting with PACEs. Our Community Managers’ site helps managers of more than 400 geographic-based communities share ideas about how best to leverage their community’s ideas, successes, and challenges by using PACEs science to solve our most intractable problems.
As part of our Sustaining Resilient Communities program, membership in our Cooperative of Communities has expanded to include nine new county-based communities in California through a partnership with PACEs Connection partner, Learn4Life. These cooperatives have joined our other California based cooperatives to create the California Collective Impact initiative and adding six ACE Aware Coops in California.
Your gift of $250 will support our efforts to provide free programs and events that educate the public about both positive and adverse childhood experiences, like this one, our Historical Trauma in America series and our Creating Resilient Communities Accelerator. Your gift of $1,500 will ensure that our top-rated podcast, History. Culture, Trauma., continues to raise awareness of historical trauma, racism, and social determinants of health. A monthly contribution of $250 will support the PACEs Connection Resource Center for an entire year. The cost to sponsor a community in our Cooperative of Communities is $5,000 annually. The strength of our organization is evidenced by our support of our members and communities. Any amount is helpful and appreciated.
