HOW ARE WE SOLVING THE PROBLEM?

By reducing the exposure to initial and reoccurring exposure to negative traumatic experiences in the lives of children newborn to 18 through appropriate education and direction to local social service resources.

In Philadelphia, where roughly a quarter of residents live in poverty, researchers found that almost seven in ten adults had experienced one ACE and one in five had experienced four or more.

The community-level indicators included witnessing violence, living in foster care, bullying, experiencing racism or discrimination, and feeling unsafe in your neighborhood. Researchers found that almost 40 percent of Philadelphians had experienced four or more of these expanded, community-level ACEs.

The Institute for Safe Families (ISF)[1] formed the ACE Task Force in 2012 with an interest in examining the prevalence and impact of ACEs in Philadelphia, an urban city with a socially and racially diverse population.

THE MARKET OF THE LIVES IMPACTED :

The northern Philadelphia zip codes (19150,19141,19120,19133,19148) in which over 45% of the population have four or more ACEs include areas of the city of Philadelphia that have the highest percentage of families with children below the poverty level and with the highest percentage of adults who have a low educational level. 

The top five zip codes (19133,19121,19134,19122,19140) with the highest percentage of families with children below the poverty line include two zip codes in which 45.1% or more of the population has 4 or more ACEs. In Philadelphia, 61.8% of the families with children living in zip code 19133 live below the poverty line and 46.4% of the families with children in zip code 19140 live below the poverty line.

SOLVING THE PROBLEM INCLUDES YOU :
While implementing a mobile route that services the 5+ identified zip codes in the Urban ACES Study. 

In 1998 study done by Co-Principal Investigators Robert Anda, MD and Vince Felitti, MD for the CDC and Kaiser Premante, brought together 10 questions about childhood household experiences that they were finding indications that these experiences in childhood be linked with adult health and wellbeing.

These 10 questions, called "ACEs" range from having a parent with mental illness to witnessing domestic violence. The study's results were shocking and groundbreaking, as they identified a link between the frequency of these 10 ACEs and outcomes for adult health and mental well-being. 

WITH YOUR SUPPORTIVE BACKING TO RAISE $100,000  :

We’re committed to breaking the vicarious cycle of trauma passed down from generation to generation.

Mobilization of THE SOCIAL IMPACT CAFÉ – PHL requires funding to serve child survivors of trauma in the City of Philadelphia through a mobile food service kitchen with social service disciplines.

 By identifying the zip codes in Philadelphia where there is a higher prevalence of 4 or more  ACE’s. Adverse Child Experiences are is defined as – An childhood experience (ACE) describes a traumatic experience in a person’s life occurring before the age of 18 that the person remembers as an adult.
