Help NM become a leader in child well-being [abqjournal.com]

Our state is poised to take a vital leadership role. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have been part of a national dialogue for over 20 years, since Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted their ground-breaking study in the 1990s.

While this public awareness has been important to our understanding of the social and economic consequences of ACEs, and we are making great strides in responses to the crisis, we still have yet to translate that effort into preventative action.

Now, we in New Mexico have an opportunity to become a national leader in data-driven, holistically structured, community-focused action aimed directly at combatting the sources of ACEs, rather than responding to them once they have occurred.
