Resilient Communities Introduction
Grant County is undertaking a community-led initiative to prevent adversity and childhood maltreatment. Resilient Communities, an initiative of Center for the Prevention of Child Maltreatment, is rooted in evidence-based prevention strategies identified by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and other available research-based resources.
Led by a facilitating team of community members, Resilient Communities may come alongside other initiatives or community efforts already in place. Throughout, CPCM will provide technical assistance and training connections to increase community capacity to know about, respond to, and prevent childhood maltreatment, as well as how to build the conditions that can prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and increase Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs).
