This symbolic resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially proclaim April 30, 2025, as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Awareness Day in New York. It highlights ACEs - such as abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction - as preventable traumas impacting lifelong health and well-being. The resolution emphasizes raising public awareness to build community resilience and prevent long-term health issues like heart disease and addiction. It does not create new laws or programs but seeks a formal state recognition to encourage broader understanding of ACEs.
