Off to a Great Start!

We are so thrilled by the incredible turn out and participation at our first Resilient Amador event held last night, Tuesday, October 9th in Jackson!

Thank you to Judy Knapp of Prevention Works for facilitating this great evening. This is just the beginning of a broader and more inclusive conversation about addressing ACEs through trauma-informed approaches and practices, and building resiliency in our community.

We would also like to give a special thanks to our panel for highlighting the work they are doing around ACEs and Trauma Informed care, as well as frankly sharing some of the challenges we still face. Thanks so much to ACUSD/ACOE Superintendent Dr. Amy Slavensky, Board of Supervisor Frank Axe, Jackson Fire Chief Debbie Mackey, Behavioral Health Director Melissa Cranfill, and Vanessa Compton Peer Personal Services Coordinator with Behavioral Health.

The Resilient Amador steering committee and work groups will be gearing up for next steps in the coming months. We encourage everyone to get involved, make your voice heard, and help us make Amador a thriving and resilient place to live and work for everyone.

Please join us here as a member on ACEs Connection to stay up to date on all Resilient Amador activities as well as to have access to a wide and thorough range of ACEs and trauma-informed resources. 

You can also give us a call or send us an email to learn more at (209) 223-5921, or info@amadorcapc.org.

Thank you again to everyone that made this evening such a success!

Tracy Carlton, Project Coordinator, Amador Child Abuse Prevention Council
