We promote universal knowledge of Adverse Childhood Experiences #ACEs to inspire prevention, healing, and the transformation of child rearing priorities to support optimal human development for future generations.

We believe governments and service providers should use this knowledge to update policy and practice in alignment with current science.

Our goal is to prevent all forms of child abuse, neglect, maltreatment & relational trauma and to ensure we meet all children’s developmental needs.

We amplify 1st Voices and support recovery for all those adversely affected. Our efforts focus on adults. We refer to other service providers who specialize in supporting children.

#ACEs Canada & PACEs Canada connect you to resources, training, consulting and a global network of individuals and organizations that share our values.
