About ACEs Aware
ACEs Aware is a nationwide initiative to screen patients for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), in order to help improve and save lives.
Initially led by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the Office of the California Surgeon General (CA-OSG) as part of Governor Gavin Newsom’s California For All initiative, ACEs Aware strives to create a better world for children, families, and communities by working together across the health, human services, education, and non-profit sectors to prevent and address the impact of ACEs and toxic stress.
