Our hearts go out to the families, children, and community members affected by the tragic school shooting at Feather River Adventist School in Oroville yesterday.

As a part of Child Abuse Prevention Month, we want to shine a light on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). ACEs are highly stressful and potentially traumatic experiences that can happen to any of us before we turn 18, this includes abuse, neglect, and other negative household challenges. Screening for ACEs to assess the risk of toxic stress and effectively responding with evidence-based, trauma-informed care across sectors, can significantly improve the health and well-being of individuals and families for generations to come.
