Family Success Alliance <br /> The Orange County Health Department will provide an overview of how and why the Family <br /> Success Alliance was formed and its current activities and priorities. <br /> Poverty & Adverse Childhood Experiences <br /> Poverty in Orange County has been on the rise. Research shows that people living in <br /> poverty disproportionately experience Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which are <br /> potentially traumatic events that can have negative, lasting effects on health and well-being. <br /> Intervening early to address the social determinants of health, including ACEs and <br /> educational achievement, are priorities for the health department and laid the foundation for <br /> the Family Success Alliance (FSA). <br />
