A group of practitioners, healers, policy advocates and all other people committed to making California a place that is healthy and safe for everyone.

“We have the capacity, within ourselves, to create better health," writes Donna Jackson Nakazawa. We can improve our health no matter what our ACE score. Learn resilience practices that reduce stress hormones in our bodies & brains. Understand how pain, shame & trauma make self-healing harder. Explore research & resources. Share stories, struggles & successes. Practice resilience.

We are Resilient Bladen (NC) where we aim to educate people about ACEs and Resilience. Our intent is that everyone in Bladen County be knowledgeable of trauma, ACEs, and how to build resilience throughout our community.

This group seeks to: 1) Understand what we do, what we do well, and call upon each other to collaborate. 2) Create a healing space for folks to work together across sectors. 3) Create a structured way to lift up each other’s work, align resources, and prevent fragmentation. 4) Use technology to communicate differently and stop traumatizing already traumatized systems.
