Introducing ACEsINC (Adverse Childhood Experiences Informed Network of Care of Merced County)

ACEsINC CP

Recognition Luncheon

What a fantastic #Friday it was on October 15, 2021.  More than 70 community members gathered together to inspire one another and become ACE's Aware.  On behalf of ACEsINC (Adverse Childhood Experiences Informed Network of Care of Merced County), we want to thank everyone who attended!

ACEsINC of Merced County
MISSION
The Mission of ACEsINC is to build and maintain a preventative network that will: screen for ACEs, treat for ACEs using evidence- based buffering resources (stress mitigating supports), and heal children, adults, and families from the consequences of toxic stress.
VISION
We envision a Merced County where ACEs are cut in half in one generation, interrupting the intergenerational transmission of ACEs and toxic stress, leading to improved health for our children, adults, and families.
