PACEs and the Social Sciences

PACEs occur in societal, cultural and household contexts. Social science research and theory provide insight into these contexts for PACEs 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.

Craig McEwen ·
An important report challenges California policy makers to move well beyond ACEs screening in order to achieve the state's "bold goal" of reducing exposure to childhood trauma.

Re: PACEs, an introductory PowerPoint, to build community involvement.

McKinley McPheeters ·
Thank you for sharing this! It's a valuable compilation of research and information. I noticed on Slide 11 that the change of ACEs to PACEs doesn't make sense in the context of that slide (to me). I understood the point though! It would be super interesting to see a version of the Three Realms of ACEs document that includes a variety of positives of each of those areas!

Re: PACEs, an introductory PowerPoint, to build community involvement.

Dennis Haffron ·
Thank you for your comment. The information on slide 11 was an attempt by me to bridge the gap between the ACEs study and the trauma informed responses that have developed.

When following up on her Ted Talk and in reading her book THE DEEPEST WELL I was able to follow her...
