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

The collaborative works to train providers and their staff through our supplemental training and encourage discussions surrounding trauma in our peer to peer, and Network of care community events. Our goal is to initiate conversations to help prevent and mitigate the adverse health outcomes associated with ACEs through trauma-informed care.

This group is focused on the descendants of Africans dispersed throughout the Americas during the Transatlantic Slave Trades. Topics include adverse childhood experiences, historical trauma, intergenerational transmission of trauma, African American parenting practices, health disparities, the effects of racism, microaggressions and implicit bias, as well as resiliency and posttraumatic growth.

Discussion and sharing of resources in working with clients involved in the criminal justice system and how screening for and treating ACEs will lead to successful re-entry of prisoners into the community and reduced recidivism for former offenders.
