PACES – Program Description. Brown County PACES (Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences) Initiative . This project, created by Centerstone in partnership with The Brown County Recovery and Wellness Coalition, seeks to prevent substance use disorders and strengthen family services in Brown County. PACEs approaches its targeted disparities through the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) questionnaire, which measures early childhood adversity and is used as a predictor for various physical, mental, and behavioral disorders later in life. The PACEs team works to meet their goals through community outreach and trainings, transportation programs, criminal justice advocacy, and more. By raising awareness of ACEs and providing direct support to those who have experienced them, PACEs aims to reduce the impact of ACEs on individuals, families, and their community.
