Mission Statement Notes: Please comment with your feedback and suggestions!

The things that stand out most to me are:

• language around "multi-sector" or "collaborative" efforts
• awareness about ACEs
• trauma-informed care

For me, I would be happy with any mission statement that incorporates these concepts. (But I also acknowledge that I am not the most knowledgeable person about ACEs - so in the end I defer to those of you who are more qualified!)

HI

I've been out of town for a while, so sorry I'm taking a little while to share my ideas on the Mission statement.

First I like the general language of collaboration, awareness and education. 
I think it would be good to add "create a common language" also as this will help those working in multi-disciplinary areas to better communicate and work together.

Finally, I would like the way it emphasizes "traumatized community" as the target, but perhaps to say something like, "in the Sacramento community, with special emphasis on the traumatized community".  I think this is more inclusive and lets the whole community know that this is about everyone, not just traumatized people, but a paradign shift in the way we look at the world

Thanks

Julie

Here is my go at a mission statement.  I was taught short was best.
