ACES Aware!

SFCCC is participating in a statewide program to encourage health care providers to screen for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) A consensus of scientific research demonstrates that cumulative adversity, especially when experienced during critical and sensitive periods of development, is a root cause to some of the most harmful, persistent, and expensive health challenges facing our state and nation.

California is leading the way by training and providing payment to Medi-Cal providers for ACE screenings to significantly improve health and well-being across the state. For more information, please go to www.acesaware.org.
