For the past six months in Baltimore, we have been forming a local Thriving and Healing Communities Collaborative, a learning and action community of youth, young adult and family development service providers, advocates and community members committed to increasing our capacity to provide trauma sensitive and informed responses here in Baltimore.
In light of Baltimore's historic past and our most recent present, we are even more concerned about the impact of community level violence, adversity, toxic stress and at the same time very heartened by the opportunity before us. We want to invite anyone engaged through ACES Connection, in and around Baltimore, to join us at our monthly meeting this Wednesday, May 6, 2015. See below:
