Session 3: Adverse Childhood Experiences
Wednesday, September 16, 2020

Presented by Dominic Cappello, MA 

We live in a society that looks the other way as our children are traumatized by ten adverse childhood experiences (ACE). It's not that we don't care, we do. But we have not, up until now, had a framework for preventing the trauma that diminishes the lives of children and their struggling parents. Cappello provides an overview of ACEs, a two-decade history of prevention efforts yielding few results, and a new groundbreaking strategy called the 100% Community initiative for mobilizing each county around a process of ensuring the ten vital services for surviving and thriving--including medical and mental health care--the centerpiece of ACEs prevention.
