Launching June 23: The Actions 4 ACEs Awareness Campaign [Actions4ACEs, NJ ACEs Collaborative]

 

Note:  This notice was sent out today, Tuesday, June 22, from Dave Ellis, Executive Director, Office of Resilience, New Jersey.  Since it may be of interest to others outside New Jersey, I'm sending it along.  There will be a post about the event in PACEs Connection.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I am excited to share that the Actions 4 ACEs campaign will launch tomorrow!

Actions 4 ACEs will raise public awareness about adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the simple - yet powerful - actions that adults can take to make a positive impact in children’s lives.  

ACEs are at the root of some of the most harmful and expensive societal and health challenges we face in our communities. Actions 4 ACEs is geared towards educators and law enforcement professionals, but the message is universal: one caring competent adult can make the difference in the life of a child that has experienced trauma.    

On Wednesday, June 23, 2021 at 11:15am, the NJ ACEs Collaborative will officially announce the launch of the statewide campaign in a virtual press conference. I am honored to be speaking with the First Lady of New Jersey, Tammy Snyder Murphy, 2021 NJ State Teacher of the Year Angel Santiago, Chief Chris Leusner from Middle Township Police Department and other leaders and community members working to address ACEs in New Jersey.  

Watch Wednesday’s virtual press conference live on YouTube.

Thanks for tuning in tomorrow and sharing this announcement with your networks. We all have a role to play in this effort, and together we can make a difference for children, families, and communities in New Jersey.  

Thank you for being part of this journey together!  

Sincerely,  

Dave

Thanks, Elizabeth, for the post!

Many of us love to follow the great work being done by Dave Ellis of the NJ Office of Resilience and Dwana Young with the NJ PACEs Collaborative.

I bet there will be people logging on from all over the U.S. today to learn from these pacesetters in the PACEs movement, thanks to your post.

I know I will be watching to see what’s next for NJ; what I can learn to share with SE states, where much terrific and innovative work is happening as well!
