Hi Amber, There are quite a few agencies and organizations focusing on ACEs prevention, trauma and resiliency in the PNW region. q Trauma Informed Oregon (https://traumainformedoregon.org/) is a good one to begin finding connections. q In the Columbia River Gorge, on the Washington side the Skamania Klickitat Community Network offers trainings, resources and materials for families, providers and community groups (skcnparents.net.) q In Hood River and Wasco County the Create Resiliency Network (http://createresiliency.org/) is working with the Sanctuary Model. Claire Ranit, Project Director, MARC Grant, Columbia Gorge Health Council is the contact. q Oregon Start also has a number of partners and other links listed: http://oregonstart.org/modules...rauma-informed-care/ q Clark County, WA, just across the river from Portland has the ACEs Action Alliance group. (http://acesactionalliance.org/) q Resilience Trumps Aces is in Walla-Walla, WA. https://resiliencetrumpsaces.org/ Hope this helps-welcome to PDX!

Hi Amber,

I am in San Diego, California and have resources and contacts throughout all of California and a couple in Oregon. I am always happy to connect with others so I have resources and referrals. Let's connect on LinkedIn as well.

Other places to connect in San Diego are Center for Community Solutions, Chadwick Center for Children and Families.

Thank you,

Christy

The Whatcom Family and Community Network would be a great place to start in Bellingham.  http://wfcn.org/

Hi Amber

I would recommend for you to connect with Kody Russell at http://www.kitsapstrong.org/  (Kitsap Strong).  He has started TOT's for the new N.E.A.R. curriculum (I refer to it as ACE's on steroids).  He is a great resource and has connections in WA.  

Be sure to connect with Trauma Informed Oregon.  They are in Portland.
