Adverse childhood experiences — such as exposure to violence, instability and hardship — put children at greater risk for experiencing negative outcomes in adulthood and contribute to the perpetuation of inequality. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Orange County is building a multi-sector, collaborative partnership to raise awareness of this issue, prevent exposure to toxic stress and increase resilience among families. CCE Orange County is expanding their capacity to measure growth in community understanding about adverse childhood experiences and adopt a two-generation approach to supporting vulnerable families in the county. This funded project provides five undergraduates with the opportunity for a hands-on experience with a research-practice partnership to support CCE Orange County in these efforts.
