The California surgeon general’s office and the Department of Health Care Services recently awarded First 5 Alameda County a $325,470 grant to participate in the state’s ACEs, or adverse childhood experiences, Aware initiative.

The grant, announced Thursday, will go toward training about ACEs for MediCal providers in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, according to a press release. Help Me Grow, a First 5 Alameda County program, will continue partnering with local health care providers to help them and their staff understand the connection between trauma and child development, in order to expand trauma-informed care in the area, according to Loren Farrar, senior administrator of Help Me Grow.
