The Stronger Starts campaign is a First 5 California initiative to raise awareness among California parents and caregivers about Toxic Stress Response in children 0-5 years old caused by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The campaign helps parents and caregivers learn what toxic stress is; the physiological, psychological, and socio-economic effects on children, and how ACEs can lead to its development. Jackie Thu-Huong Wong, Executive Director, First 5 California, discusses this campaign.
