This is the dedicated global community of individuals who support or lead PACEs initiatives online & on-the-ground who gather here to discuss the process of utilizing the Growing Resilient Communities framework to start & growing resilient communities, exchange evidence-based practices, and practice-based evidence. Questions, ideas, and shared resources are all welcome!

Resilience at work. What does it mean to be trauma-informed at work? How is it defined and assessed? How do we measure success? What policies, protocols, and training exist? How does becoming trauma-informed change us and our work? We share the nuts and bolts of becoming a trauma-informed organization and our struggles, questions, and successes, too.

We can stop the intergenerational transmission of toxic stress and build a thriving community of happy, healthy, resilient families when we focus on empowering parents, caregivers and organizations that support families. This is a site to identify community assets, educate one another, share our experiences, co-create initiatives, and take action!

We share ideas, information and stories about mitigating the effects of adverse childhood experiences in the K-12 environment. 

How do we honor both lived & learned expertise to break down barriers between parents & professionals? How do PACE-impacted families best access healing, hope & health? How might parent education, training, & support services if co-created with families & in community?
