Please save the date for the upcoming 7^th Annual Growing Resilient Communities Gathering of Collaboratives and Tribal Nations Addressing ACEs, which will be held virtually on Tuesday, June 18^th from 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

This event supports tribal community members and partners and Children’s Mental Health and Family Services Collaboratives as they work to reduce ACEs, strengthen core protective systems, and create Self-Healing Communities across Minnesota. 

This year, we plan to celebrate, highlight, and elevate the stories of changemakers across Minnesota. Changemakers are individuals, groups, programs, initiatives, or coalitions leading efforts to address problems affecting the health and well-being of their community members. By focusing on changemakers this year, we hope that the speakers will inspire new ideas or actions that conference participants can bring back to their local efforts.

Because of your role as a leader in your community, we are hoping you will share the attached Call for Presenters Invitation with local partners who you consider changemakers in your area, and/or consider submitting a proposal about your local efforts.

We will be prioritizing proposals that align with our preferred criteria and include voices that reflect the racial, economic, cultural, age, gender, varied ability, and geographic diversity of the sectors and the communities of Minnesota.  

Please see the attached Invitation to submit a proposal.

If you have questions, please contact Jenna Schmidt at jschmidt@familywiseservices.org.

Thank you,
