Resilient Gwinnett focuses specifically on mental and behavioral health, trauma prevention, and community resilience. Through this collaborative effort, partners align strategies, share knowledge, and work together to build systems that better support young people and families in Gwinnett County.
Our Focus
Resilient Gwinnett champions the well-being of youth and young adults by cultivating resilience and preventing trauma through a community-based approach.
Our approach:
- Promoting Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) that help children develop healthy relationships, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
- Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) that can impact lifelong health and well-being.
- Encouraging Trauma-Informed Care across organizations, systems, and communities.
By strengthening protective factors and addressing the impacts of trauma, we help create environments where Gwinnett residents can grow, learn, and succeed.
