Working to compile, share, and advance ACEs, trauma-informed, and resilience-building programs for children and youth across sectors and settings.

In this community we will explore the root causes of addiction while focusing on recovery and human resilience.

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.

What is the relationship between PACES and eating habits, food security, and nutritional status? How can we work on food insecurity and nutritional health in a trauma-informed way? EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO POST AND COMMENT. Please share trusted resources and links only.

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

Discussion of Transition and Reentry issues of out of home (treatment, detention, sheltered, etc.) youth back to their families and communities. Frequently these youth have fallen behind in their schooling, have reduced motivation, and lack skills to navigate requirements to successfully re-enter school programs or even to move ahead with their dreams.

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?

“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.

Resources, posts, discussions, chats about national efforts to build a trauma-informed, resilience-building nation.

An action-oriented, trauma resiliency network of systems and collaborative leaders that builds and supports safe, secure, and nurturing communities through increased coordination, community education and mobilization; pre-service and in-service training for front-line workers, managers, and organization leaders; changes to policies and practices to support trauma-responsive approaches.
