Welcome to the Michigan ACE Initiative
We are a statewide coalition of cross-sector partners committed to raising awareness of the prevalence and impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Michigan’s children and communities. We provide ACE-aware, trauma-informed training and education and develop and implement programs to foster protective factors and build resilience among Michigan’s children who have experienced trauma and adversity.
