Arkansas ACEs/Resilience Coalition (AR)

AR ACEs Workgroup Hosts Planning Workshop

 

About 40 members of the Arkansas Adverse Childhood Experiences and Resilience Workgroup attended a planning workshop July 25 at the Hillary Clinton Children's Library in Little Rock. The workshop was facilitated by Mike Craw, PhD, an associate professor at the University of Arkansas - Little Rock School of Public Affairs and coordinator of UA-Little Rock's Center for Public Collaboration. 

The workgroup has adopted the Collective Impact framework for change, and the workshop is the group's latest step toward developing its common agenda. After a series of round table discussions, group decided by vote on three major goals: raising awareness about ACEs, resilience, and trauma-informed care; developing legislative champions; and preventing ACEs. The group also worked on developing one strategy for each goal. 

The workgroup will continue to collect input from the community and others through a series of future events, including the upcoming AR ACEs and Resilience Summit: Every Child, in Every Community, scheduled for Sept. 25-26 in Little Rock.
