Toxic Stress, Toxic Streets (4 minute video)
This video is about 2 years old, but I just came across it last week and wanted to share with you all. It is a powerful statement by the students at Leadership High School in San Francisco, CA. They speak about the ongoing adversity and toxic stress in their daily lives and in their community, all through the power of music. The youth voice is so important as we work to bring trauma-informed and resilience building practices to communities. Link to video: Toxic Stress, Toxic Streets

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...

Re: 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!)
