The Building Flourishing Communities TEAM site to support our mission which works by activating local leadership through an understanding of the importance of early childhood development and how our earliest experiences affect our health and well-being through-out life. We're developing highly-trained volunteer Master Trainers, who in turn identify local leaders and train them in the model.

We share ideas, information and stories about mitigating the effects of adverse childhood experiences in the K-12 environment. 

Discussion and sharing of resources in working with clients involved in the criminal justice system and how screening for and treating ACEs will lead to successful re-entry of prisoners into the community and reduced recidivism for former offenders.

How do we honor both lived & learned expertise to break down barriers between parents & professionals? How do PACE-impacted families best access healing, hope & health? How might parent education, training, & support services if co-created with families & in community?

The State PACEs Action is the go-to location for ACEs activities in U.S. states.

Welcome to the Vermont PACEs Community, where we are passionate about spreading the word about the prevalence of trauma, its possible negative effects, and what can be done to build resilience in our state and beyond!
