This summit is an opportunity to bring all our initiative members and partners together under one roof to strengthen our shared vision and goals, as well as offer practical information on how to build on local assets in order to increase access to ten vital services. Deb Wisniewski, from the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute, will help us strengthen our collaboration across service sectors, improve the alignment of our work, and energize our connections with county residents. We will examine the power of moving from a scarcity mentality to recognizing that our communities have the building blocks to make every childhood trauma-free, with families empowered to succeed in well-resourced schools and communities.
