At CYW we raise awareness about the connections between chronic, toxic stress, caused by early adversity and harm, to the developing brains and bodies of children and their long-term health. CYW partners with communities to identify pathways, build capacity, and remove barriers to the care and treatment of children and families exposed to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress. Our mission is to improve the health of children and adolescents exposed to ACEs.
