Innovative Partnerships for Adverse Childhood Experiences Prevention
February 09, 2021
Collaboration and coordination with stakeholders are essential to amplifying state and territorial health agency injury and violence prevention (IVP) programs to prevent adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and achieve community health impact. While collaboration often occurs through one-on- one partnerships, state IVP programs play a critical convening role, bringing multiple stakeholders together to address ACEs prevention more holistically. In basic form, partnerships among stakeholders yield general support for shared initiatives, but they become increasingly meaningful when resources — data, funding, training, and staff — are shared or exchanged.
