In this video, we will define and give examples of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and protective factors. We will also explore the impact PCEs and protective factors can have on a person throughout their life. Throughout the video, you will hear from several Virginia residents about the work they are doing to build protective factors in young people, families, and communities. We hope their stories and ideas will inspire you to take action!
