What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I am the coordinator of The Quad Cities Area Trauma Informed Consortium (QCTIC). This is a partnership between Family Resources and the Child Abuse Council that began in 2013 as an effort to move trauma-informed practices into the Quad Cities. All community members and stakeholder organizations have been invited to be a part of this consortium and any sub-teams created to move the initiative forward.
By using a common language and evidence-based practices, QCTIC works to prevent trauma while promoting the appropriate responsiveness when encountering individuals who have experienced trauma in all settings. Collaborating across sectors and interests allows us to effectively expand our reach while we elevate the status of our community.
