Send Email to Gov't: Make ACEs a Topic in Healthy People 2030!

We care about children's lifelong well-being.

We believe adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) should be its own topic in Healthy People 2030, to encourage public health action.

Our team at Salud America! drafted an ACEs topic description with 21 specific objectives and science-based rationale for each, with help from Dr. Colleen Bridger of San Antonio Metro Health District and Dr. Joe Hendershott of Hope for the Wounded Student.

Email this proposed ACEs topic to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services!
