Our Story
The ACEs Coalition of West Virginia was born from a collaboration between a physician, a licensed professional counselor, a child advocate, and a funder. Together, they envisioned a movement to address Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in West Virginia. By fostering a statewide grassroots coalition, they aimed to educate and empower communities. Today, with over 4,000 members, the Coalition operates as a standalone 501c3 nonprofit, guided by a diverse board of directors and dedicated task teams focused on awareness, training, legislative advocacy, and research.
