The findings from a state report on child abuse and its health impacts confirm what many nonprofit organizations and government agencies have already been working toward: developing and providing services to support the physical and emotional health and well-being of young children and their families.

In “Roadmap for Resilience: The California Surgeon General’s Report on Adverse Childhood Experiences, Toxic Stress, and Health,” experts outline the public health issues of toxic stress and abuse, along with solutions and recommendations for addressing these issues on a community level.

Recently, as part of its strategic plan to support resilient communities and foster equity, the San Diego Foundation (informed by the “Roadmap” report) awarded $252,000 in grants to nearly a dozen local nonprofit organizations working to prevent this kind of abuse while also providing services and care to address it.
