Welcome to the PACEs Connection Resource Center


These resources are built on the foundation of positive and adverse childhood experiences science, which includes the:

  • epidemiology of adverse childhood experiences  ACE Study, expanded ACE surveys);
  • neurobiology of toxic stress caused by ACEs;
  • health consequences of toxic stress;
  • epigenetic consequences of toxic stress passed on from generation to generation;
  • positive childhood experiences, resilience research and practice.

Our approach is to curate carefully, not catalogue. If you have resources to add or suggestions to improve, contact Rafael Maravilla.

The Stress Busters are defined in the Roadmap for Resilience: The California Surgeon General’s Report on Adverse Childhood Experiences, Toxic Stress, and Health. PACEs Connection and ACEs Aware also created a handout based on seven evidence-based stress busters.
