We Are Building Communities Where Awareness Becomes Prevention.
ACEs Matter is a prevention-focused nonprofit dedicated to helping communities better understand Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), resilience, and the protective factors that help people heal, grow, and thrive.
Research continues to show that unresolved childhood adversity impacts mental wellness, physical health, relationships, education, workforce participation, and long-term quality of life.
That is why we focus on helping adults become Antidotes-II-ACEs aware.
Through community events, awareness campaigns, wellness experiences, comedy-for-a-cause gatherings, workshops, and collaborative partnerships, we help connect people to the protective factors that strengthen individuals, families, and communities.
We believe:
- awareness can interrupt unhealthy patterns
- healing creates stronger communities
- prevention starts with connection
- people deserve environments where they can reach their full potential
Our volunteers are not “just helping at events.”
They are helping create safer conversations, healthier systems, stronger relationships, and more compassionate communities.
You are the antidote.
Together, we can help people move from surviving to thriving.
