ACEs Aware

The ACEs Aware initiative led by the California Office of the Surgeon General and the California Department of Health Care Services to address the public health crisis of toxic stress stemming from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). 

ACEs Aware offers Medi-Cal providers training, clinical protocols, and payment for screening children and adults for ACEs. Detecting ACEs early and connecting patients to interventions, resources, and other support can improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and families.
