A group of practitioners, healers, policy advocates and all other people committed to making California a place that is healthy and safe for everyone.

We are building healthy, resilient communities to reduce and prevent exposure to the short- and long-term consequences of ACEs and trauma.

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

Learn resilience practices that reduce stress hormones in our bodies & brains. Understand how pain, shame & trauma make self-healing harder. Explore research & resources.
