Hello and welcome to the Yuba-Sutter ACES connection page! Over 47% of Yuba-Sutter children have 1 or more Adverse Childhood Experiences as reported by their parents*. ACEs contribute to high levels of toxic stress that disrupt healthy physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. Research shows that ACEs increase the long-term risk for chronic health issues, learning problems, mental illness, and substance misuse. The good news is ACEs can be prevented and the effects of ACEs can be alleviated. We are forming community partnerships to build a resilient community. Our goals include:
-Raise awareness of the ACES prevalence in Yuba and Sutter County.
-Increase trauma-informed practices in schools, agencies, and other organizations that work with children, families, and adults to increase resiliency.
-Foster inter-agency collaboration to better support common clients and overcome common challenges.
-Reduce barriers to high quality clinical, education, health, and support services.
You can use our page to find information, resources, training, and articles on trauma and resilience. We welcome you to post an article that helps us stay trauma-informed and resilient. Please reach out to us with any questions.
Thank you to our collaborative community partners: Sutter-Yuba Behavioral Health, Yuba County Office of Education, Sutter County Children and Families Commission, Sutter County Health & Human Services Department, Yuba County First 5, and Sutter County Superintendent of Schools.
