ACEs Aware
Kern County

Building a Network of Care among providers in our community

What is ACEs Aware?

The ACEs Aware initiative in California is a first-in-the nation effort to screen patients for Adverse Childhood Experiences(ACEs) to help improve and save lives.

First 5 Kern, through Resilient Kern (Trauma-Informed Kern County) is working with ACEs Aware to expand a countywide Network of Care that will support local Medi-Cal providers to screen for ACEs and, where needed, connect with local community partners to meet the non-medical needs of families.

An introduction to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

Dr. Nadine Burke Harris
California Surgeon General

Childhood trauma isn’t something you just get over as you grow up. Pediatrician Nadine Burke Harris’ 2014 TEDTalk remains a seminal moment in our understanding of how repeated traumatic stress during childhood has real, tangible effects on the development of the brain that unfolds across a lifetime.
