Coinciding with child abuse prevention month, we kicked off the year with an in-person event to discuss trauma the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on brain development and toxic stress, with a particular focus on strategies to build families’ natural resilience through protective factors to help combat ACEs and ways to support children and families in leading healthy lives.

We were honored to be joined by Dr. Diana Ramos, Surgeon General of California and Jahmal Miller, Chief Administrative Officer of Mercy Medical Group.
