The Finger Lakes ACEs Connection promotes a collaborative approach to raise awareness of adverse childhood experiences and drive sustainable systems change to impact community resiliency.

The HEARTS Initiative is a cross-sector collaborative uniting to prevent and reduce adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and childhood trauma in the New York State Capital Region and its surrounding areas. Strengthened by the combined resources of our partner agencies, we apply the Restorative Integral Support (RIS) model to inform policies, transform programs, and advance practice."

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