Sonoma County Superintendent of Schools Writes About ACEs and Our ACEs Presenter Fellowship

Allen K. Nishikawa 5/15/174:50 PM

I’d like to tell you about one of the greatest obstacles to the health, well-being, and educational success of Sonoma County’s youth: childhood trauma. Statistics suggest that nearly one in five children in our county has suffered two or more of these negative experiences, which range from death of a parent to physical or emotional abuse at home to extreme bullying at school. Research tells us that this exposure dramatically increases children’s risk for behavioral problems in school as well as challenges later in life, such as missed work, alcoholism, diabetes, heart disease, and even early death.
