Resources for Communities
Find additional information on resources to prevent child abuse, to build self-healing communities, to understand trauma and adverse childhood experiences.
Trauma Informed Resources
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) take many forms—physical abuse, incarceration of a parent, substance abuse in the family—and create trauma that harms kids well into adulthood.
Protective Factors Resources
Protective factors—like building a network of natural supports—can help keep families strong and recover from trauma.
Self-Healing Communities Resources
FamilyWise takes a holistic approach to healing communities. Rather than address issues like domestic violence, youth substance, and other family challenges separately, the idea behind self-healing communities is to tackle them collectively, knowing they are often connected.
Natural Supports
Families who are supported by a network of friends and community members are more likely to break out of cycles of abuse, trauma, and poverty.
