We all have a role to play.
That was an important theme in the keynote message New Jersey Department of Children and Families Commissioner Christine Norbut Beyer delivered Thursday to kick off NJ Spotlight News’ virtual roundtable on ACES, or adverse childhood experiences.
Studies show 40% of New Jersey children have experienced traumas or other adverse experiences like abuse, poverty, divorce and death that can have long-term, even generational, impact on their health and well-being.
Beyer outlined the development of the state’s new ACES action plan, unveiled in February, but stressed government alone can’t make it a success. “The solution can’t come from within child welfare alone. ACES can have an impact on every facet of a person’s economic well-being, long-term health, social connections, housing, likelihood for substance use and more,” she said.
Pandemic has forced Jersey women out of the labor market
A new study finds the pandemic has forced a significantly higher number of women than men out of the labor market.
According to Andy Challenger, the vice president of global outplacement at the executive and business coaching firm Challenger Gray & Christmas, the number of Garden State women who have left their jobs since the start of the health emergency is 20% higher than their male counterparts.
“In New Jersey, the unemployment rate for women is 10.8% compared to 8.6% for men, and that’s a really dramatic difference that’s going to have ramifications for years to come, he said.

New Jersey officials released the nation’s first community-driven statewide plan to prevent and reduce the damage done by childhood traumas like abuse, neglect and extreme poverty, which can harm the health and welfare of families for generations.
The NJ ACES Statewide Action Plan outlines strategies to help government agencies, health, education and social service organizations and members of the public better understand and address adverse childhood experiences, or ACES.
More than 40% of children in New Jersey have experienced at least one such trauma and experts said the problem has likely been exacerbated recently with the pandemic, the resulting economic downturn and the ongoing struggle for racial justice.
