I am reaching out to share a new resource, “Hardships and Hope in California During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Family Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic Questionnaire Brief, Wave 1,” developed by the Essentials for Childhood (EfC) Initiative, a project of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the California Department of Social Services; CDPH’s Office of Strategic Development and External Relations (Fusion Center); and the Population Reference Bureau, Kidsdata.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased hardships and disruptions for many families and communities in California. This resource focuses on key findings from the questionnaire “Family Experiences during the COVID-19 Pandemic”, including Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) during the pandemic, as well as strategies and resources to help Californians recover from adversity experienced during the pandemic.

Please consider sharing this resource with your networks and thank you for your partnership.
