What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
We are working with our local high school youth community service group, our Farmers Market, and our Child Abuse Prevention Council to offer a Trauma-Informed approach. The high school S-Club (S for Service) recently wrote a mini-grant request from Amador Child Abuse Prevention to take a "Trauma-Informed Approach to Family Nutritional Wellness.
We would like to offer shopping bags, Potter the Otter Market Adventure, and an ACEs approach at the Farmers Markets that recently were approved to accept WIC and EBT. The high school youth would receive a training on ACEs and help to model wellness at the Farmers Markets with the children and their families through literacy activities and physical activities. This is a "NEW" concept. (Thank you Monica from Leah's Pantry for your motivation and your vision.)
Our county also has an ACEs Collaborative newly named "Resilient Amador".
