What are ACEs?

ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) are stressful or traumatic events that happen before the age of 18, such as abuse, neglect, or household challenges.

Who We Are.

Brave fACEs is a group of local organizations, educators, and healthcare providers working to build a trauma-informed community that prioritizes mental health and prevention.

Individuals with four or more ACEs are at a higher risk for chronic health issues, like heart disease, diabetes, and mental health disorders.*
