Adult Health Problems Linked to Childhood Trauma




It is possible to reduce risk for ACEs while also mitigating consequences for those already affected by these experiences by creating the conditions for healthy communities and focusing on primary prevention.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just released new information showing negative outcomes linked to ACEs, how we can help those who have experienced ACEs AND how we can prevent ACEs from happening in the first place! 

Keep the Conversation Going:
Connections Matter Georgia focuses on educating everyone on the effects and prevention efforts of ACEs in Georgia.  www.ConnectionsMatterGA.org

This is a new in-person training designed to engage community members in building caring connections to:
• Improve resiliency,
• Prevent childhood trauma, and
• Understand how our interactions with others can support those who have experienced trauma.

The Connections Matter Georgia initiative is a new collaboration between the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy and Prevent Child Abuse Georgia using the curriculum developed by PCA Iowa and Strengthening Families Georgia's Protective Factors.

Great! Thanks for posting, and your work,  Taylor.

Georgia doing the great work to help all Georgians prevent and heal ACEs; build resilience. All the work makes for healthier, happier Georgians and makes the state a more viable workplace and choice for starting or relocating industry. 

Smart moves continue in my home state. Protecting children? The Darkness to Light trainings were a remarkable feat in reaching more than 100,000 people with training to prevent childhood sexual abuse/trafficking. I am so glad education about how all sectors in communities can work together to create local trauma-informed initiatives is happening now!
