Child Abuse

Provides information, tools, and resources on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to help tribal communities learn about and respond to these ordeals. Includes ACE assessments, contact information for various helplines, examples of interventions, links to journal articles on ACEs and American Indians/Alaska Natives, and more.

ACEs can impact kids' health and well-being. They can have long-term effects on adult health and wellness. Their consequences can affect families, communities, and even society. Thankfully, ACEs are preventable.

This report provides recommendations for actions that state and local leaders can take immediately to increase evidence-based practices, decrease arbitrary determinations, and prevent overdose deaths. The report also provides concrete steps that will, in the longterm, help dismantle a siloed system of unequal access and disparities and move towards an integrated system that promotes restorative justice, where people and families are treated with dignity, and where addiction is treated as a health and wellness matter rather than one of moral failing or criminality.
