ABOUT FIRST 5 CALIFORNIA
About First 5 California:
For 25 years, First 5 California has focused on helping children 0-5 receive the best possible start in life. It is the goal of First 5 California that in a generation, all children have access to safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments (SSNREs) to achieve healthy development.
The Stronger Starts campaign is an initiative that aims to raise awareness about the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress in young children. Toxic stress occurs when children experience continuous, prolonged, or frequent stressful events without adequate adult support. Toxic stress can have lasting physical and mental effects, but parents and caregivers can take steps to help their children through adverse experiences by creating and maintaining safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments.
