The Chester County ACEs Coalition

We partner with communities to increase understanding of trauma, strengthen resilience, and inspire lasting change together.

Raising Awareness. Strengthening Resilience. Supporting Healing.

The Chester County ACEs Coalition is working to build a resilient, trauma-informed community where everyone can thrive. We raise awareness about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their lasting impact, while promoting practices that prevent trauma and support healing.

Through education, collaboration, and action, we bring together partners from across Chester County to create a coordinated response to trauma. Our work is rooted in advancing equity, inclusion, and resilience so that all individuals, especially those most impacted by adversity, have the opportunity to lead healthy, hopeful lives.

  • Trauma & ACEs are common.

    More than 60% of adults report experiencing at least one Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE), which can include abuse, neglect, or household challenges.

  • Trauma-Informed Care makes a difference.

    Organizations that adopt trauma-informed practices help reduce re-traumatization and create safer, more supportive environments for healing and growth.

  • Resilience and prevention matter.

    Positive relationships, community support, and early intervention can prevent the harmful effects of trauma and help individuals and communities build lasting resilience.
