Our original backbone organizations, The Family Tree and Maryland State Council on Child Abuse and Neglect (SCCAN), have long understood the profound impact that child maltreatment and other Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) have on a child’s well-being.

The CDC’s original state Essentials for Childhood initiative was intended for states committed to the positive development of children and families, and specifically to the prevention of all forms of child abuse and neglect. In 2023 the original program ended, and CDC refocused its efforts as Essentials for Childhood: Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences through Data to Action.\u00a0<\/p>\n
