There has been significant work to address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in communities and programs across New Jersey for years, but much of that work has been siloed. The New Jersey ACEs Action Plan is designed to unite these efforts into a coordinated response through commitments at the gubernatorial and commissioner level across state agencies.

This action plan shares core strategies to help the state of New Jersey reduce, and ultimately, prevent ACEs, and reach its goal of becoming a more trauma-informed and healing-centered state.
