Please welcome these two new communities to ACEs Connection.  

  1. ACEs & African Americans 
  2. ACEs Connection at Boston University School of Public Health (MA) 

ACEsACEs & African Americans This group is focused on the descendants of Africans dispersed throughout the Americas during the Transatlantic Slave Trades. Topics include adverse childhood experiences, historical trauma, intergenerational transmission of trauma, African American parenting practices, health disparities, the effects of racism, microaggressions and implicit bias, as well as resiliency and posttraumatic growth. Community Managers: @Ingrid Cockhren (PACEs Connection Staff) and @Maria Hamilton Abegunde

BUPHACEs Connection at Boston University School of Public Health (MA) We are a group of Boston University School of Public Health students, alumni, instructors, researchers and community members dedicated to educating about ACEs and promoting evidence-based trauma-informed interventions that build resilience. We seek to raise awareness and deepen understanding about the association of adverse childhood experiences and the lifelong impacts on mental health. Community Managers: @Caitlin Brand and @carol dolan
