About the Northern ACEs Collaborative (NAC)

Many Northern California Counties are disproportionately affected by high ACE scores relative to other regions in California. Domestic violence is an indicator in the ACE spectrum along with other Social Determinants of Health, which play a critical role in healthy families. A group of partners from six northern California counties —Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Shasta, Tehama, and Trinity—have come together to form a multisector collaborative to identify and address opportunities for systems change that mitigate issues of trauma and domestic violence using the Life-Course Model. 

With funding from Blue Shield Foundation of California as part of Leveraging Collaboration to End Domestic Violence (LCDV), PHIL supported the formation of a Northern California collaborative and acts as the backbone to support and enhance current activities in the six counties. Given the similar demographic nature of the participating rural counties and acknowledging the fluidity of the population, we proposed a regional approach that built on existing long-standing partnerships to address trauma and domestic violence in the region.

NAC Regional ACEs Data Dashboard​

NAC has assembled data and evidence for the ten-county region that highlight the area’s unique needs and focus on ACEs and the long-term impacts of ACE-associated health conditions. Partners use this data to inform planning, collaboration, and implementation efforts.

This dashboard represents Version 1 of the NAC Regional ACEs Data Dashboard. We welcome feedback and input from partners as we continue to refine, expand, and improve this resource over time.

Vision: All Northern California residents have everything they need to live resilient and happy, healthy lives.

The dashboard below showcases county-level data specifically for the NAC region. Explore county-specific rates of domestic violence, poverty, ACEs, health conditions, and more.
