From ACEs Aware, December 15, 2020
California Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke Harris set a bold vision to cut ACEs and toxic stress in half in one generation through a strategically deployed, coordinated public health initiative designed to raise awareness, reduce transmission of ACEs and strengthen our response networks.
As part of this work, the Office of the California Surgeon General (CA-OSG) developed the Roadmap for Resilience: The California Surgeon General’s Report on Adverse Childhood Experiences, Toxic Stress, and Health, which lays out how to advance systemic reforms that recognize and respond to the effects of ACEs and toxic stress.
