Funded by the California Office of Child Abuse Prevention, Strategies TA provides technical assistance to support counties in the development and implementation of comprehensive, evidence based, child abuse prevention plans. We have used their resources and toolkit to inform our own CAPC.
Based upon the framework for addressing Adverse Childhood and Community Experiences: The Building Community Resilience Model by Wendy Ellis and William Dietz (2017), the Building Community Resilience Toolkit Series is designed to guide family and community strengthening organizations in the necessary balance between ideas grounded in research and data with the community’s own lived experience and perceptions of adversity and assets.
Volume 1 of the toolkit provides a succinct description of the core concepts of the BCR Model as well as tools to: (1) assess understanding of organizational and community factors related to building community resilience; and (2) to build a shared understanding of these factors through collaborative learning, both within the family and community strengthening organization and the communities they serve.
