Message from our CEO, Ingrid Cockhren

Support PACEs Connection with your tax-deductible gift!

Happy New Year! 

You may have already noticed some changes as we enter 2024. Please give us grace as we navigate the challenges these first few months will bring. Updates to come!

Despite funding deficits and staff reductions, our work for the New Year is just kicking off and we have ambitious plans for 2024. PACEs Connection recognizes the impact of a wide variety of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in shaping adult behavior and health, and that promotes trauma-informed, healing-centered and resilience-building practices and policies in all families, organizations, systems, and communities. As a caring member of our PACEs Connection community, we ask you to make your gift or pledge today so that we can continue our work in 2024!

We proudly supported over 400 communities in launching and/or growing their PACEs initiatives, online and in person, and provided tools to help them measure their progress this past year. We are still the human and digital catalyst that unites the people, organizations, systems, and communities in the worldwide PACEs movement. We are its main information exchange and resource.

Your gift of $250 will support our efforts to provide free programs and events that educate the public about both positive and adverse childhood experiences, like this one, our Historical Trauma in America series and our Creating Resilient Communities Accelerator.  Your gift of $1,500 will ensure that our top-rated podcast, History. Culture, Trauma., continues to raise awareness of historical trauma, racism, and social determinants of health. A monthly contribution of $250 will support the PACEs Connection Resource Center for an entire year. The cost to sponsor a community in our Cooperative of Communities is $5,000 annually.  The strength of our organization is evidenced by our support of our members and communities. Any amount is helpful and appreciated.
