Brief Introduction to FACES
The FACES Assessment is not just another survey; it's a critical, population-level metric screening tool designed to illuminate the landscape of childhood experiences within your community. By systematically identifying the most frequent adversities faced by its members, FACES provides an indispensable foundation for informed action.
Understanding these prevalent experiences is paramount, enabling you to strategically direct vital resources, ensure funding reaches the areas of greatest need, and forge powerful partnerships with organizations equipped to make a real difference. FACES empowers you to move beyond assumptions and gain a data-driven understanding of the challenges impacting your population's well-being.
Crucially, the FACES Assessment was developed with a strong focus on youth. By assessing for child trauma and toxic stress before individuals reach the age of 18, we gain the opportunity to intervene early and fundamentally change the trajectory of their health and overall well-being. This proactive approach allows communities to address the root causes of adversity and build a brighter future for their young people.
