Mission & Broad Goals

Resilient Gwinnett was formed by the Gwinnett Coalition and the Steering Committee is comprised of local leadership from GUIDE, View Point Health, Mosaic Georgia, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Gwinnett Newton Rockdale Public Health Department, Gwinnett County DFCS, Ser Familia, and Neighborhood Nexus. Their mission is to build resilient communities within Gwinnett by creating a shared understanding of adversity and resilience, promoting trauma-informed practices, and advocating for policy and system change. It works in conjunction with members of local government, the business community, non-profits, faith-based organizations, and concerned citizens to promote equity and prosperity in Gwinnett.

​

Thus, Resilient Gwinnett’s goals are: 

• Building capacity by creating a common understanding of ACEs by training organizations, practitioners, community leaders, and members of the community.

• Increasing community awareness by defining “trauma-informed”, providing toolkits for organizational use, and utilizing communication tools to create public awareness.

• Influencing systems of change by engaging key stakeholders and subject matter experts that move Gwinnett County towards becoming a trauma-informed community.
