Welcome to the California Essentials for Childhood Initiative ACEs Connection Group. This group is intended to be a means of communication for all Essentials Initiative members and partners. We encourage our partners to share information on the great work that they are doing to improve the well-being of children, youth and families in California. 

Included on the site (In Collections) are informational documents about the California Essentials for Childhood Initiative:

- California Essentials for Childhood Overview

- California Essentials for Childhood Framework

- California Essentials for Childhood Common Agenda

- California Essentials for Childhood Strategic Direction & Goals

You will also find upcoming CA Essential for Childhood Initiative meetings (check out the Calendar), meeting agendas and summaries of various groups (check out Collections). We will post interesting stories here and encourage you to do the same!  Share what you have found that you would like others in the group to know about. (see ACEs Connection home page for "How Tos" for posting blogs on the site) or contact Gail Kennedy (gailkennedy.aces@gmail.com) if you have questions.
