The Public Health Institute (PHI) is expanding its role in the area of child trauma and the long-term effects of Adverse Child Experiences (ACES) on chronic disease later in life. Research shows that these early adversities negatively impact health behaviors and, subsequently, worsen health outcomes in adulthood. Currently, we are working in the rural north of California to establish a collaborative comprised of multiple counties. The collaborative will identify the training and technical assistance needed to institute a platform of services and evidence-based interventions. These services could then be used through multiple channels within county organizations and their community partners. For more information, please contact Lisa Tadlock at [email protected].
