Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

2024 NOW Festival

NOW Festival 2024 tickets are ON SALE and we’re proud to support this event alongside city-wide partners.

Produced by the MYA RAISE Team, it will take place during Children’s Mental Health Week (5-11 February 2024) and explore the theme of 'Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences'.

ACEs are stressful or traumatic experiences that can greatly impact children and young people throughout their lives.

“Our aim is to strengthen and coordinate responsiveness to ACEs in Liverpool. In other words, we aim to build an ACE-resilient city where children are less likely to experience ACEs. Similarly where children and families have support and resilience through adversity. For instance, we aim to help adults feel supported to mitigate the potential impact of their own ACEs. In other words, how ACEs are impacting their own health and well-being and that of their families. In conclusion, we aim for children and families to have longer, healthier, happier lives.”
