Community Resilience Cookbook

  Acookbook2

The National Collaborative on Adversity and Resilience (NCAR) met in December 2013 and as a result produced the Community Resilience Cookbook

 

You can read about the five cities and four states in the U.S. and Canada that are growing collaborative initiatives in the cookbook’s Tastes of Success. These communities are raising awareness of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) research and implementing trauma-informed and resilience-building practices to prevent adversity and violence, promote healing, and to build a culture of health.

 

Accompanying the case studies are a graphic that summarizes the “essential ingredients” these communities have used to start down the trauma-informed path, an overview of the effects of toxic stress on the brain and body, a glossary of ACEs words, ACEs by the numbers, and a foreword by Dr. Robert Anda, co-principle investigator of the CDC-Kaiser ACE Study.    

 

The Health Federation of Philadelphia, with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation  produced the cookbook, which is a companion to the proceedings of the NCAR report released in June 2014. The aim of NCAR is to develop strategies to accelerate the spread of awareness of the impact of ACEs and the possibilities for recovery and prevention.
