How to Use the ‘Pair of ACEs’ to Build Community Resilience Webinar

Join us in the resilience movement! The Building Community Resilience (BCR) collaborative will host a webinar featuring lessons learned using one of our most potent tools: the ‘Pair of ACEs’ - adverse childhood experiences in the context of adverse community environments – and the accompanying Pair of ACEs tree. Over three years, these tools have helped communities educate, advocate and build coalitions – working to align and change systems in partnership with community – to help children, families and whole communities not only bounce back in the face of adversity, but bounce forward. Details: National BCR staff and team members from across the country will discuss how we’re building the resilience movement using the Pair of ACEs, the accompanying tree, and relevant data to engage partners in communities, regionally and nationally. Speakers will discuss how to help potential partners see themselves in this resilience work, as well as how to use the tree in policy and advocacy conversations on local, state, and federal levels. New for You: BCR staff will introduce the new Pair of ACEs Infographic template and how to obtain local data to create a Pair of ACEs infographic with details specific to your community.
