One year ago today, we officially launched BravefACEs.org and the Brave fACEs Assessment! ππ
But the Brave fACEs story started long before launch day.
For several years, our team and community partners were working behind the scenes to listen, learn, gather data, and better understand what our community needed when it came to Adverse Childhood Experiences, trauma, and resilience. On September 16, 2025, we were finally ready to share that work with all of you.
And what a year it has been!
π Almost 8,300 people have taken the Brave fACEs Assessment, taking an important step toward understanding how childhood experiences can impact our lives.
π We've expanded opportunities for ACEs, trauma, and resilience education throughout our community.
π We've brought caregivers together through Building Resilient Families, creating space for connection, learning, and stronger relationships.
π We've shared lived experiences and powerful conversations through Beyond the Score.
π And we've continued building partnerships with organizations and individuals who believe that understanding trauma can change the way we support one another.
We are incredibly proud of how far Brave fACEs has come, but we're even more excited about where we're going.
There is so much more to come. More education. More conversations. More resources. More opportunities to build resilience. And more ways for our community to understand that our experiences are part of our story, but they don't have to define our future.
Happy one year, Brave fACEs! π
