House committee hears resolution urging state agencies to report annually on adverse childhood experiences
Summary
Representative John Wozniak introduced House Concurrent Resolution 1, asking the governor to direct state agencies to evaluate how their programs reduce adverse childhood experiences and to report annually on progress.
Representative John Wozniak told the Michigan House Families and Veterans Committee on the record that he is sponsoring House Concurrent Resolution 1, which urges the governor to direct state agencies to evaluate how their programs reduce adverse childhood experiences and to report annually on progress.
Wozniak said ACEs — including abuse, neglect and household instability — are “among the most significant predictors of lifelong health and social outcomes,” and he cited committee-level statistics that nearly 70 percent of Michigan adults report at least one ACE and one in five report four or more. He told the committee the resolution aims to add oversight and transparency so agencies invest in proven, prevention-focused policies.
