The Florida ACEs Connection is a collaborative effort of state agencies; schools; institutes of higher learning; faith, community, and grassroots organizations; and other interested individuals; to provide education and training on trauma informed approaches and interventions to mitigate the negative effects of stress and adversity on children and their families.

The PACES Hillsborough (FL) group is focused on creating a trauma informed community using the science related to the health impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in combination with the hope and resiliency that comes from research based Positive Childhood Experiences. We welcome anyone with an interest in decreasing the exposure and impact of ACEs on young children in our community.
