4th Annual Creating a Resilient Community:
From Trauma to Healing Conference
This conference is presented by the Peace and Justice Institute at Valencia College and the Early Learning Coalition of Orange County.
The two-day conference will be hosted online via Zoom.
CONFERENCE PROGRAM
Thursday, April 21st, 2022 | Dr. Asim Jani - "Let's Make the Shift!"
Building a resilient, trauma-informed community involves responding to the challenges inherent in all three realms of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) - household, community, and environment. By definition, these realms respectively include the broad range of individual, social, and climatic determinants of overall health. Looking at existing and emerging problems, regardless of which realm they relate to, involves a paradigm shift on an individual and collective level.
This interactive day will introduce three key concepts, especially related to ACEs and the countervailing set of Protective and Compensatory Experiences (PACEs) – salutogenesis, syndemics, and systems thinking. These three components are part of the paradigm shift that will enable us to engage in more effective individual and collective level actions for change.
Friday, April 22nd, 2022 | Workshops for the Community, By the Community!
Day two of the conference is an opportunity to more deeply connect as a community, understand what’s happening in each individual sector, and showcase workshops and best practices to support our community in becoming a resilient, trauma-informed Central Florida.
During day two, participants will have the opportunity to attend sector specific breakout groups to learn about the goals and work happening in their specific sector of interest (i.e. Health/Wellness, Business, Education, Government, Nonprofit, Faith, Criminal Justice, Public Safety, Child Welfare). Then, conference participants have the opportunity to select from a menu of workshops hosted by community members that will further our community knowledge, skills, and awareness of best practices around the topics of PACEs, Trauma Informed Care and Resilience.
