Fostering Equity: Creating Shared Understanding for Building Community Resilience
As a nation, we have agonized over how to approach conversations on race, racism, inequity and racial justice. Too often we have opted to attempt to solve the problem of racism by not explicitly naming it—which when put in writing should strike the reader as absurd. Yet, this is exactly what we have done with predictable results—we cannot solve that which we cannot speak. Nor can we solve an issue which we do not fully understand. This guide aims to help us as a nation do both: collectively see the historical underpinnings of structural racism and the traumas and disparities that result, then conduct constructive
conversations that lead to policy change. The path to a Resilient Nation – one in which all our communities can not only ‘bounce back’ in the face of adversity, but thrive – must begin here.
The Center for Community Resilience provides a solutions-based, innovative approach to addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences in the context of Adverse Community Environments (the Pair of ACEs). Communities across the country, spanning 10 states + DC and 45+ organizations, are successfully implementing the novel Building Community Resilience (BCR) process, which applies an equity lens to childhood and community wellbeing.
