Can anyone point to some resources that talk about the relationship between trauma-informed systems and health equity? I am working on a trauma-informed systems change initiative in a public health environment and need to be able to talk about it from the lens of health equity. I need help crafting the right language.

I thought tonight's blog story on Los Angeles' approach to Homelessness showed a very favorable 'cost-benefit analysis', as health equity goes...
The National Academy of Medicine published a campaign entitled “visualizing health equity.” It may provide you with some useful information http://visualizehealthequity.netlify.com/#/. I also think immediately about Sandy Bloom’s book Destroying Sanctuary.
You might be interested in the RYSE Center and this article by @Kanwarpal Dhaliwal on ACEs Too High about their work, "Racing ACEs gathering and reflection: If it's not racially just, it's not trauma-informed."
Or articles like "Adverse childhood experiences and life opportunities: Shifting the narrative" (Metzler, Merrick, Klevens, Ports, & Ford, 2017)
Or Prevention Institute's Adverse Community Experiences & Resilience: A Framework for Preventing Community Trauma (Davis, Pinderhughes, & Williams, 2016).
Or the "Pair of ACEs" (Ellis & Dietz, 2017)
