Chester County ACEs Coalition

The study found that the greater number of adverse childhood experiences the greater the possibility of disabilities and dysfunction in adult life.

The Chester County ACEs Coalition's mission is to increase the county's awareness, knowledge, and education on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), trauma, and toxic stress, as well as focus on hope and resiliency in order to offset the cycle of trauma. The Adverse Childhood Experience Study (ACES) is the largest and first research study that established a direct association between childhood tra

uma and adult ill health. The Chester County ACEs Coalition is a collective impact initiative to bring awareness, knowledge, prevention, and initiatives throughout the county on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), trauma, and toxic-stress. Building resiliency and fostering hope can offset the cycle of trauma as well as contribute to long-term health benefits, bringing strength to our communities.
