A common desire to make our communities trauma-informed for the purpose of building resilience in our youth, families, neighborhoods and county brings together this collection of institutions, school districts, community-based organizations and businesses.
The current priority for this workgroup is to develop a trauma-informed Network of Care in Fresno County.
A Trauma-Informed Network of Care is a group of interdisciplinary health, education, and human service professionals and community members and organizations that support adults, children, and families by providing access to evidence- based “buffering” resources and supports that help to prevent, treat, and heal the harmful consequences of toxic stress.
