About

This 3-minute video explains how community partnerships can help prevent suicide, overdose, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs are traumatic events in childhood that can lead to health problems. By focusing on shared risk factors like social isolation and financial stress, communities can improve outcomes. Protective factors such as quality healthcare and strong community connections build resilience. The National Association of County and City Health Officials uses a framework for local health departments to create strategic plans with partners. An example is a school district working with mental health nonprofits to expand programs that promote positive childhood experiences.
