Maine Resilience Building Network

Maine Resilience Building Network’s mission is to promote resilience in all people by increasing the understanding of the impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the importance of building resilience through protective factors such as positive relationships.

COMMUNITY RESILIENCE

Community resilience-framed strategies address the root causes of public health issues including health equity.

Community resilience recognizes that structures and systems at the community level must be activated across sectors to address health equity, and must be inclusive of all voices, those with lived experience and across the lifespan.

The presentation will cover the research behind PCEs and their mitigating effects on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the Four Building Blocks of HOPE, and the power of the brain to heal.
