Experiencing hardships as a child can cause many problems as we get older. This community is a place where people living and working in NJ can come together to help prevent adverse childhood experience (ACEs) and create a healthier, happier state. This group was created by the NJ ACEs Collaborative, NJ DCF, the Center for Health Care Strategies, and NJEA — but made stronger by you!

As the Northern New Jersey PACES Chapter and Central Region ACEs Collaborative, Norwescap Parenting SEAS is educating our community about ACES and building resiliency.

In East Africa and the Horn, there is growing recognition that the needs of disadvantaged groups and communities have complex inter-related and intersections largely due to inequity. There is also recognition that these groups and communities have assets at the social and community level that can help improve key/basic needs like health and education and strengthen resilience to such issues.
