Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

Just Released: New Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Resources

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Child abuse and neglect are forms of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)—traumatic events that impact lifelong health and opportunity. The good news is ACEs are preventable, not inevitable.

New resources at CDC.gov will help your community better understand ACEs, their health impact, and strategies for prevention.

We all benefit when all kids have safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments. Join us in working to stop abuse and neglect before they start.
