From across Minnesota, across ages, experiences, cultures, races, and ethnicities, we came together. As we learn about ACEs and how this knowledge can help us as individuals and our communities to heal, we strengthen and support each other to be agents of that healing.

The Chisago County ACEs Initiative is a collaborative group of cross-sector partners coming together. We are passionate about making a difference in our community. This initiative aims to move from ideas to action.

We share information and exchange ideas related to adverse childhood experiences, trauma and resilience that lead to practical and community-centered solutions in Minnesota.

We share ideas, information and stories about mitigating the effects of adverse childhood experiences in the K-12 environment. 

Our holistic movement increases the understanding of ACEs across all of our community sectors to integrate trauma-informed practices, build resilience and provide hope for future generations.
