The Spark in Iowa

Our movement started when an engaged group of stakeholders heard about The ACE Study for the first time. Since 2012, Iowa ACEs 360 has brought diverse partners together to identify and seize opportunities for responding to the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study. Watch the video below for the history on the movement.
