National ACE Campaign

Building on the landmark 1998 Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, the National ACE Campaign proclaims childhood trauma as the keystone public health issue of our time.  Our goal is not simply to reduce trauma for its own sake. It is to make America the First Nation in history to use the North Star of the Cultural Mandate to form a more perfect Union.

​

This campaign has not yet begun.  It is starting right here.

​

Modeled after the highly successful anti-tobacco and public safety movements of the late 20th century, our initial goal is clear: achieve 100% national awareness of ACEs and persuade every American to take the Ace test.  By treating childhood adversity as an upstream keystone crisis, we shift the focus from managing societal symptoms to healing the broken foundation of this nation.

​

This is not another government program.

​

This is a community-driven, science-backed movement that equips people of faith and goodwill to restore family stability in their communities.  Through local pilot projects, vetted faith-based and secular healing ministries and strategic pubic-private partnerships we will strengthen the very foundation required for ordered liberty.

​

Without breaking the cycle of ACEs, political solutions will continue to fail.  Healing the American people is the upstream victory that makes all the downstream national progress possible - and positions America to once again model a free and flourishing society for the world
