A place to learn, share and find resources
About 61% of adults 1 surveyed across 25 states reported that they had at least one type of ACE, and nearly 1 in 6 adults reported they had experienced four or more ACEs. Nationally, 2 out of 3 2 children have experienced at least one. By working together, sharing resources and encouraging training through professional association partners, we can help reduce the impact of ACEs while making New Jersey a trauma-informed and healing-centered state.
