ACEs Connection supports communities to accelerate ACEs science.
ACEs Connection is a social network that supports communities to accelerate the global ACEs science movement, to recognize the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in shaping adult behavior and health, and to promote trauma-informed and resilience-building practices and policies in all communities and institutions — from schools to prisons to hospitals and churches — to help heal and to develop resilience instead of traumatizing already traumatized people.
ACEs Connection members include people living in rural, suburban, and urban areas and who are active in a wide variety of sectors, including health, education, criminal justice, social services, business, civic, and faith-based fields.
- ACEs Connection members receive a Daily Digest with the latest ACEs, trauma, and resilience-related news, reports, research, and activities. A Weekly Roundup has all that plus a short feature and new videos. If you want to receive only the Weekly Roundup, or if you want neither e-news sent to you, please contact our network manager, Alicia Doktor (adoktor@acesconnection.com).
- We post summaries and links to news, reports and research in the blog entries every day on the home page of ACEsConnection. That's where you'll find members' blog posts, too.
- On the home page you'll also find the latest members who've joined the network, and recent comments from members. The activity stream lists everything that's happening on the network; it's a handy reference to use to catch up between visits.
- You can also find calendar listings, videos, and an “Ask the Community” section (just below the blog entries).
