Mission & Broad Goals

The Cobb Collaborative’s aim is for Cobb County to be a trauma-informed community by providing training and resources in collaboration with community partners to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The coalition’s mission is to engage, educate, and empower the community to improve the well-being of children and families. Additionally, Cobb Collaborative will advocate for the development of equitable county-wide systems.

 

The Cobb Collaborative seeks to make Cobb County a trauma-informed community through the following:

• Increasing the awareness, shared language, and understanding of trauma, ACEs, and the role of safe, stable, and nurturing environments

• Improving the capacity of providers, families, and community members by equipping them with the training necessary to improve outcomes for the children they serve

• Empowering advocates to address long-standing issues of healthcare equity, systemic racism, and social justice 

• Advocating for agencies to embed practices and protocols into the implementation of their work and strategies
