New Interactive Maps and Charts on ACEs in California

A fast-growing network of community based organizations, medical and social service professionals, and public agencies and systems are beginning to understand and address the physical and emotional effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Together we are learning how to intervene effectively in the lives of children who have already experienced one or more ACES, and how to help adults understand the harms of toxic stress and disrupt its inter-generational pull. 

Recognizing that the long-lasting effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), public health organizations around the country are beginning to treat ACEs as an urgent public health crisis. This primer, "A Social Movement, Driven By Communities And Rooted In Medicine," created through the awarding winning partnership between PHI and LiveStories, a data storytelling platform, uses data from PHI's Survey Research Group to create an interactive series of charts and maps that displays county and state-wide data about the pervasiveness of ACEs alongside resources and words of wisdom from thought leaders.
