2023 COMMITMENTS TO ROAR

EVERY stakeholder is encouraged and invited to COMPLETE the 2023 Commitments Document. This will help the steering committee begin to identify how and when we can best coordinate our grassroots efforts to spread resilience education and awareness everywhere.

Mission: To educate, connect and empower the people of Robeson County by increasing awareness and understanding of Adverse Childhood and Community Experiences and teaching skills for building resilience.

Vision: That every person in Robeson County will have the tools they need to recognize, process and overcome their own adversities and that individual, familial and community resilience will thrive.

COMPLETE THIS SURVEY!!!

EVERY ROAR stakeholder is encouraged and invited to COMPLETE the 2023 Coalition Survey that has been recently released by the Healthy and Resilient Communities Initiative as a requirement for our recently awarded grant. DEADLINE: May 1, 2023

This survey will assess your perception as a member of the Coalition about the makeup and experience of participating in our local coalition and reveal the culture that exists within our coalition. SAMHSA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency) has outlined 6 main principles to strive towards when creating trauma-informed organizations. They are: Safety, Trustworthiness & Transparency, Peer Support, Collaboration & Mutuality, Empowerment & Choice, and Cultural, Historical & Gender Issues. This survey tool has been developed to measure these 6 main principles.

NOTE: Because the questions were borrowed from valid sources of measure, the language could not be changed despite some instances when a more locally accepted phrasing or word choice could make the questions more relatable and understood. Please just answer the questions based on your personal perception and based on your experience as a participant in ROAR.
