ROCKFORD - Monday, the City of Rockford's planning and development committee passed a resolution to adopt a proclamation to become a trauma informed community. The Winnebago County Health Department is leading a collaborative effort towards becoming a better place for those who experience trauma.

"It takes a look at how the adverse childhood experiences our trauma," said Winnebago County Health Department public health administrator Dr. Sandra Martel. "How it impacts and [how it] can be mitigated or really kind of address through improving communications and healthy relationships."

The goal of a trauma-informed community is to reduce damage by being an informed and supportive place. Dr. Martell says getting Rockford leadership involved is critical to the county's initiative.
