Mission & Broad Goals

The Aligning Community Systems for Resilience Initiative (ACSRI) is a multi-dimensional strategy designed to engage all sectors of the Clayton County community in the development of a trauma responsive community ecosystem.

​

A trauma responsive community is defined as a community in which:

​

• All community stakeholders are aware of the impact of ACEs on health and wellness

• Trauma Informed Care is a normative practice in all sectors

• Evidence based/evidence informed ACE prevention strategies are embedded within the community and in all sectors

• Responsive systems of support grounded in culturally responsive developmental relationships exist (and are easily accessed) throughout the community

• Voice and agency are given to community stakeholders who model resilience and "overcoming"

• Sector leaders and grassroots stakeholders work collaboratively to identify tailored prevention and remediation strategies that respond to the needs of their community as they evolve
