Hello Toni -

Great question!

First, you don’t have to start a nonprofit. A group of nonprofit and for-profit, educational, governmental, judicial, medical and other types of organizations may come together to form an entity to prevent and heal childhood trauma and look for ways to build individual, family, and community resilience (which will help, over the long-run, with prevention).
We’ve created guides to help members start and grow communities.

Look at at the column of β€œwidgets” on the right-hand side of the home page of PACEs Connection and you’ll see β€œGrowing Resilient Communities” widget.  Just click on it to find posts and resources on β€œStarting Resilient Communities” and β€œGrowing Resilient Communities.”

Check those out! You may also write our staff members who’re available to guide you at communitysupport@pacesconnection.com and someone from our team will respond within 48 hours.

If you’d like to check them out.

Hope to see soon that you’ve helped start a new community.

Peace!

Carey Sipp, PACEs Connection staff

Thank you Carey for responding. Ok, then my next question would be; do you know if Cowlitz County specifically Kelso/Longview Washington has a program already in order through your network or any other network and how can I find out if we do? I am doing a school project focused on ending childhood trauma and I would love to get involved. I will read the material you suggested but I still have urgent questions, I meet with my team tomorrow and wanted to be able to discuss what I have learned about our community.



Thank you,



Toni Vossen

Hi @Toni Vossen, Thanks for reaching out! There are several PACEs Connection communities across the state of Washington. When you are on the PACEs Connection home page, and look at the search bar across the top of the page, Click on "communities" then selected "United States" communities - this is where all PACEs Connection communities are listed by state.  www.pacesconnection.com/pages/geographic-communities We do not have a community in Kelso / Longview but we do have folks with a strong interest in child abuse prevention. Specifically, check out www.pacesconnection.com/g/tacoma-pierce-county-aces-connection and reach out to the Community Manager, Mellissa! She is amazing! If you'd like to have a phone or Zoom conversation please email our team at communitysupport@pacesconnection.com Thanks again for reaching out! Karen
