This is the dedicated global community of individuals who support or lead PACEs initiatives online & on-the-ground who gather here to discuss the process of utilizing the Growing Resilient Communities framework to start & growing resilient communities, exchange evidence-based practices, and practice-based evidence.

We are the Jersey Shore ACEs Collaborative of Monmouth and Ocean Counties to spread awareness of Adverse Childhood Experiences to our community as well provide supports to help reduce the impact of trauma-related events for our youth.

Experiencing hardships as a child can cause many problems as we get older. This community is a place where people living and working in NJ can come together to help prevent adverse childhood experience (ACEs) and create a healthier, happier state. This group was created by the NJ ACEs Collaborative, NJ DCF, the Center for Health Care Strategies, and NJEA — but made stronger by you!

We are the South Jersey ACE Initiative and we are in relentless pursuit of educating people about ACEs. Our mission is to get schools, organizations and communities to be trauma-informed and to have relentless pursuit of adding value to all of our communities.
