AZ ACEs Consortium

Help Us Build a Resilient Arizona

Adverse childhood experiences can last a lifetime. But they don’t have to.

Our Vision for a Trauma-Informed & Resilient Arizona

We believe in a future where every Arizonan has the opportunity to thrive. Our mission is simple: Building community resilience through authentic human engagement. We are working toward a trauma-informed state that nurtures hope, healing, and the growth of every individual. Since 2007, the Arizona ACEs Consortium has been the bridge between childhood adversity and a lifetime of health.

The Blueprint: Why Your Support Matters

Well-being doesn’t just happen. It’s built—like a house—through a network of relationships and community assets that create stability.

• The Foundation: Our health is shaped by our families, homes, and neighborhoods.

• The Risk: Chronic stress from unstable relationships or unsafe surroundings acts like a faulty foundation, leading to negative health outcomes that can span generations.

• The Solution: Just like any construction project, well-being requires an investment of resources. We provide the "framework" that catches children before they fall.

"Studies show that early investments pay off for everyone. A child with a solid foundation becomes a member of a solid community who contributes to our economy later on."

How We Create Change

Your contribution allows us to work across all sectors—from policymakers and business owners to parents and volunteers—to transform our health system.

1. Professional Engagement

We train agencies and professionals to increase awareness about the causes and effects of ACEs, ensuring that those on the front lines have the tools to decrease trauma in our community.

2. Advocacy & Education

We educate state leaders about the long-term effects of childhood adversity, shifting policies toward prevention rather than just treatment.

3. Community Resilience

We support the human service organizations that monitor and sustain the programs and opportunities from which well-being is built.

Addressing ACEs is vital to helping Arizona. When everyone realizes their abilities, everybody benefits. This is not an easy task, but change is happening. Communities are transforming, and better health is finally within reach.
