About Us
Introduction
The Life Atlas Foundation is a beacon of hope in our community, dedicated to empowering individuals and families facing the challenges of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) situations. With a steadfast commitment to positive change, the foundation has emerged as a vital force in providing critical support and resources.
Understanding ACES and ALICE
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) encompass a range of traumatic events that individuals may face during their formative years. These experiences, which include abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, can have profound and lasting effects on a person's physical and mental health well into adulthood. The Life Atlas Foundation recognizes the urgent need to address ACES and provide pathways to healing and resilience.
In tandem with ACES, the foundation focuses on the challenges presented by ALICE—those who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. This segment of our community, while employed, struggles to cover the basic costs of living, such as housing, childcare, food, transportation, healthcare, and technology. The foundation is resolute in its mission to bridge the gap and provide essential support to individuals and families facing ALICE circumstances.
Mentorship Clubs and Leadership Curriculum
These clubs are the heart of the foundation's mentorship efforts. By pairing individuals with experienced mentors, we foster positive relationships and provide essential guidance and support.
