Who should you partner with to create lasting change through resilience in your community? The Building Community Resilience (BCR) initiative aims to address, prevent, and reduce the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adverse community environments (ACEs) on children’s health and wellbeing (The “Pair of ACEs”). An essential element of the successes of BCR’s five test sites around the country has been strategic collaborations. In your work to build resilience, identifying and pooling resources with the right partners will help advance your goals. The Pair of ACEs Tree image can help you describe the issues and opportunities to potential partners. And the BCR Coalition Building and Communications Guide and webinar offer practical approaches to communicating your visions for community resilience and in creating a shared understanding with partners.

While the prevalence of ACEs across all demographics are a fact, using hard data to demonstrate the impact in your community strengthens the case for action. In Building Community Resilience (BCR), we know that stories matter as does using the data to demonstrate real needs and opportunities for change. [Read more…]
