Community Resilience

This endeavor aims to grow positive childhood experiences and build resilient communities through advocacy, education, and policy priorities for healing, recovery, and well-being. Some of our work includes…

Leading a Local Child Well-being Task Force in Greater Bridgeport

Through our involvement in the Health Improvement Alliance (HIA) coalition of hospitals, departments of health, FQHCs, community members and 50 CBOs from seven towns in Fairfield County, we work to increase awareness of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), and access to services.
HOSTING SCREENINGS AND DISCUSSIONS OF THE DOCUMENTARY FILM, RESILIENCE

Our team has collaborated to bring the film to senior government officials, educators, nonprofits, mental health professionals, and community members across the state of Connecticut. View the trailer and reach out to set up your in-person or virtual screening today.
Championing a statewide effort to address ACEs & Resilience

We promote equitable systems of health, well-being, and support to build resilience for CT residents. We do this through education and awareness of ACEs, advocating for legislation that reduces the likelihood of early adversity and builds protective factors, and elevation of community voices, lived experiences, and priorities.
COLLABORATING ON HEALTH EQUITY INITIATIVES AND EVENTS

We engage with our local legislators, behavioral health professionals, youth-serving organizations, educators, and young people on expanding access to support and services for Bridgeport’s children and youth. Together, we can invest in the underrepresented, at-risk, and disconnected young people in Bridgeport. We look forward to innovating with you!
