Our fabulous founder, Jane Stevens, is featured in this article.
"Science and health reporter Jane Stevens was struck by what she saw as the profound implications of the study for helping to explain problems plaguing families and communities, from obesity to substance abuse to incarceration rates. Since the 1980s, Stevens had covered the emerging field of violence epidemiology, which looked at violence from a public health perspective, for newspapers and magazines. Stevens saw ACEs as a watershed moment, one with huge implications for both the field and the way in which it should be covered. She envisioned an online resource that would take important findings from ACEs and translate them for a broad audience through stories and reporting. Such a site could become an important resource to help organizations and local governments address the issue of childhood adversity and its consequences.
"It would be 14 years between the study’s release and Steven’s ability to create such a resource...."
