Join the #ChildrenCanThrive Campaign so all children grow up happy and healthy.
Our mission in the fight against ACEs and toxic stress is three-fold: prevent, screen and heal.
Prevent
We are helping to prevent toxic stress by raising national awareness among those who have the power to make a difference.
Screen
We screen all kids who walk through the Center's doors for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress.
Heal
We are a national leader in developing the best ways to heal kids experiencing toxic stress.
