Here's a place where you can review books, educational dvds and documentaries that relate to ACE concepts or trauma-informed practices. "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." ~ Nelson Mandela

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 a collection of institutions, school districts, community based organizations and businesses that have a common desire to make our communities trauma informed for the purpose of building resilience in our youth, families, neighborhoods and county.

Advanced PACEs initiatives in cities, counties and regions work together to gather and use data to measure progress and outcomes, share resources, learn together, and accelerate the PACEs movement, for as long as it takes to create healthy families and communities.

We advocate for the bio/psycho/social well being of foster children. We recognize, acknowledge and validate the trauma endured by children placed in foster care. We embrace the capacity of healing and ultimate recovery for foster children with family, community and professional support.

Connecting and informing the faith community how to integrate PACE concepts into the faith-based community.

We are committed to a culture of safety, understanding, and responsiveness to ACEs for children, families, and our community.

“We have the capacity, within ourselves, to create better health," writes Donna Jackson Nakazawa. We can improve our health no matter what our ACE score. Learn resilience practices that reduce stress hormones in our bodies & brains. Understand how pain, shame & trauma make self-healing harder. Explore research & resources. Share stories, struggles & successes. Practice resilience.

Films have been instrumental in helping us understand individual, generational, and historical trauma - and healing. Documentaries can inspire and inform public policy and system-level change as well and that is why ACEs Connection, CTIPP, and the Relentless School Nurse have come together to stream documentaries from this community site , quarterly, starting in September of 2020.
