We're working on a very interesting project to identify CITY POLICIES that can be passed to support trauma-informed services and approaches at the city/community level. I'm wondering whether the ACES community has any examples of specific policy language that has been passed/implemented? Thank you so much!

Not necessarily city, but law enforcement partnerships with domestic violence shelters and child protective services to link victims with advocates immediately. Something like the LAP Protocol used for survivors of domestic violence and their families.
You might want to talk to the Resilience Coalition of Kansas City Missouri, which involves organizations beyond the typical participants, like the Chamber.
Sarah: A person to contact in Kansas City is Jasmin Williams. And here's a link to an MOU that Tarpon Springs developed — https://www.pacesconnection.com/...us-tarpon-springs-fl
You can check with Robin Saenger to see if the City of Tarpon Springs signed on to it.
Also, contact Teri Barila in Walla Walla, WA, because the city has declared a Children's Resilience Initiative month for each of the last few years.
