Individual Ambassador of the Year: Magdalena Sunshine Serrano, LCSW Director of Behavioral Health and Psychiatry Services, Community Health Centers of the Central Coast

Magdalena is currently a member of the “Strategies in Addressing ACEs, Toxic Stress, and Trauma-Informed Care in Indigenous Communities Workgroup” through ACEs Aware in partnership with the Aurrera Health Group. Through this, she hopes to amplify key community members trained in the Community Resiliency Model (CRM) and support them in providing continuous service to their communities. As a partner in the Santa Barbara County ACEs Network of Care Leadership, Magdalena’s vision for equity and well-being for her community is a healthcare workforce that embodies the people she serves.

Organizational Ambassador of the Year: New Hanover County, North Carolina Resiliency Task Force

New Hanover County, North Carolina is a hallmark application of a resilience-focused and trauma-informed integrated approach. Their efforts with the Community Resiliency Model (CRM) were sparked by the devastation of Hurricane Florence in 2018. This blossomed into a solid preparation and prevention strategy, which incorporates CRM, for the entire community that is now in place when future climate change events and other challenges occur.

We are acknowleding four of their compassionate and innovative citizens for their distinguished service to TRI’s international community as leaders demonstrating how to systemically create a “culture of resiliency”.
