We imagine a better world for our children, families, and communities – where we work together across the health, human services, education, and non-profit sectors to prevent and address the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress to significantly improve the health and well-being of individuals and families.
We are pleased to share this draft Trauma-Informed Network of Care Roadmap, developed by the California Surgeon General’s Network of Care Subcommittee with input from the California Surgeon General’s Clinical Implementation Subcommittee and other stakeholders in collaboration with the Office of the California Surgeon General and the Department of Health Care Services. This Roadmap aims to provide practical steps that health care providers, clinics, community-based organizations, and social service agencies can take within their own communities to grow cross-sector Networks of Care that support providers, individuals, and families in preventing and addressing the impact of ACEs and toxic stress on health.
PLUS: The January webinar on Trauma-Informed Network of Care replay is now available: ACEsAware.org.
Presenters discussed:
- Definitions and guidance on key elements of a trauma-informed network of care to respond to ACEs and toxic stress.
- Strategies for establishing a robust and effective system for responding to ACE screenings and mitigating the toxic stress response with evidence-based “buffering” resources.
- Lessons learned from Fresno County on building a network of care.
