ACEs Aware Community: We Want to Tell Your Stories about ACE Screening and Response
ACEs Aware Community: We Want to Tell Your Stories about ACE Screening and Response
Since ACEs Aware launched in December 2019, the initiative has raised public awareness about the importance of preventing, identifying, and responding to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress. ACEs Aware has also supported California health care teams and communities to do this work.
After nearly five years, more than 40,000 people have been trained to mitigate the toxic stress response, and nearly 1.9 million Medi-Cal members have been screened for ACEs. We’d like to showcase your stories about the positive impact ACE screening and response is having on health care delivery and patient and family health and well-being.
If you have completed the Becoming ACEs Aware in California training and have implemented an ACE screening and response initiative in a clinical or community-based setting that serves Medi-Cal members, we want to hear from you.
