IDPH: Office of Women's Health

The Illinois Department of Public Health’s Office of Women’s Health and Family Services (OWHFS) receives federal Title V funding each year to improve maternal, child, and infant health outcomes across the state. Addressing ACEs aligns with the state’s Title V Action Plan and selected priority needs. Specifically, the Maternal Child Health (MCH) ACEs program seeks to strengthen families and communities, by ensuring safe and healthy environments for children to grow and thrive, and by assuring access to systems of care that are youth friendly and youth responsive. The program will focus on advancing efforts to prevent, mitigate, and treat childhood adversity and trauma in Illinois through an equity lens. Applicants will serve either healthcare providers, or families/caregivers, children, and adolescents outside of the city of Chicago. Priority will be given to communities where ACEs are shown (within application) to be prevalent/higher.
