New Jersey Funders ACES Collaborative

Over 40% of children in New Jersey—more than 782,000—are estimated to have experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) and 18% are estimated to have experienced multiple. In response to this crisis, the Burke Foundation joined The Nicholson Foundation and Turrell Fund to establish The New Jersey Funders ACEs Collaborative. On July 30th, The Collaborative released its new report, Adverse Childhood Experiences: Opportunities to Prevent, Protect Against, and Heal from the Effects of ACEs in New Jersey. The report details the challenges New Jersey faces in addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and calls for a coordinated statewide response to mitigate their lasting effects on children’s health and well-being.
