Advancing Your Community’s ACEs & Resilience Strategy

(Case Studies and Upcoming Opportunities)

 
 

This webinar will focus on how two regions built on the pre-launch program for the ACEs & Resilience Resource Commons for Communities (ARRCC) to advance their regional strategies to transform the family justice system as part of a larger ACEs and Resilience strategy. The Reforming the Family Justice System coalition in Alberta and the Access to Justice coalition in British Columbia both are focusing on leveraging brain science to bring about trauma-informed system changes in their provinces. The pre-launch program provided training and coaching about powerful collective impact techniques and approaches to strategy management, and it engaged the participants in refining a strategy map template and building the open-source, wiki-based ARRCC. The webinar will share about how Jane and Diana are leveraging the techniques they learned in a 6-month group coaching program on developing and implementing collaborative community strategies.

Participants will learn about the ARRCC, the wiki-based resource sharing tool, and strategy map template that was developed during the program that Jane and Diane participated in. Participants will learn how to access the free, open-source ARRCC and about a new 6-month group coaching program to accelerate their ACEs and Resilience work.
