Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Awareness Day 2024
Social Media Toolkit
The ACEs Awareness Campaign helps to educate and raise awareness about prevention and mitigation of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and increasing Protective Factors, and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs).
We encourage you to use this social media toolkit to raise awareness about the impact of ACEs across the lifespan.
Although ACEs Awareness highlights the impact and prevalence of childhood adversity, our focus remains on emphasizing the importance of preventing ACEs from ever occurring. ACEs can continue to impact us through adulthood – such as by influencing behavior, relationships, and health outcomes. These effects are mitigated by safe, stable, nurturing relationships and Protective Factors.
Protective factors at any age highlight the power of connection, of moving from isolation to community, of building resilience through each proactive step.
In addition to using this tool kit to raise awareness across your social media platforms, we also encourage everyone to seek support if they are struggling and engage with resources, to foster community, connection, and resilience in the people we serve and in ourselves as well.
