The MAHP Foundation believes key interventions to address Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) will come from the community – the parents, teachers, social workers, community health workers and beyond who frequently work with kids and make an impact on their lives .

That’s why the Michigan ACE Initiative is training individuals who work in fields that address trauma in children.

So far, we have trained 50 individuals from Michigan. You can see the list of Master Trainers here, under the “resources” section at the bottom of the page.

 PREVENTING ACES IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Being able to recognize signs of ACEs before it is too late can change a child’s life. ACEs include abuse and neglect, experience with domestic violence, substance abuse, mental illness and stress. These experiences can lead to negative outcomes in adult life.
