Laurie Udesky ·

Suzanne Frank ·
Thank you Jim for this article. It is exactly what we need to address health care providers and community concerns regarding ACEs work. This should help us overcome barriers and resistance as AB 340 launches. Is there a lead agency in each California County to coordinate ACEs work and provide consultation/expertise? Perhaps this could be delegated to County Public Health Departments.

They increase opportunities for prevention, identify early indicators of risk, and offer more tools for healing chronic illness and other effects of trauma.
