Thank you to Healthy Blue! Welcome to our real-time accounting of activities, trainings, events and more for the Healthy Blue Foster Care initiative in North Carolina. Please post blogs, trainings, meeting minutes, calendar events, questions about our work done from 11.15.22 thus far for Bladen, Brunswick, Guilford, New Hanover, Pender and Robeson counties. Two more counties may join.

To build our community's resiliency, we work to reduce and prevent ACEs (trauma), respond to existing trauma in children, adults, and providers with knowledge, empathy, and compassion, and create opportunities for our community to form meaningful connections with one another. Please visit www.nhcbouncesback.org to learn more about our history and our work.

A forum to inform and connect individuals and communities working to promote safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments and prevent and mitigate ACEs in North Carolina.

Advanced PACEs initiatives in cities, counties and regions work together to gather and use data to measure progress and outcomes, share resources, learn together, and accelerate the PACEs movement, for as long as it takes to create healthy families and communities.

The Pender County Resiliency Task Force is dedicated to building a stronger, more trauma informed community by increasing awareness and education of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

“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.

We are the Brunswick County (NC) Resiliency Task Force working to increase awareness of ACEs, trauma-informed practices, and resiliency. We hope to be a guiding light leading Brunswick County to a brighter tomorrow.

We are a collaborative of library professionals and library supporters who seek to share ACEs Science with our institutions, organizations and communities; explore and implement Trauma-Informed approaches; and build community resilience through our programs, practices and publications.
