The ACEs Aware Yolo County Trauma Informed Network of Care was formed in 2021 through a collaboration between Resilient Yolo, Yolo County Children’s Alliance, HUI International, First 5 Yolo, UC Davis POD Center, CommuniCare Health Centers and Winters Healthcare. Our goals are to:
- increase awareness of trauma-informed care
- increase ACEs screenings
- increase patient and family knowledge of ACEs
- adopt a shared referral platform (Unite Us)
- increase community engagement around trauma informed care
- reduce provider burnout
If you are interested in becoming a member of our network, please go to this link for more details.
Some of our early work involved mapping data in Yolo County through a Public Impact Research Initiative Award;, here is a link to that work that was created into a virtual resource hub through the Duke University Data+ summer program.
As part of our collaborative efforts with the Yolo County Trauma Informed Network of Care, we developed a mini documentary series that educates the community about what ACEs are, how they impact health, why it is important to screen for them, and how to mitigate the adverse effects of toxic stress. You can find the videos in the series here.
