Pediatric Resiliency Collaborative
The Pediatric Resiliency Collaborative (PeRC) is a community partnership focused on expanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) screening and referral services to all pediatric clinics in Santa Barbara County and linking providers to community systems.
PeRC’s vision is to build healthier families and communities by promoting trauma-informed [medical] care, supporting family resilience, and addressing ACEs in Santa Barbara County. ACEs are defined as stressful or traumatic experiences occurring before the age of 18, such as abuse, neglect, substance use, divorce, and/or domestic violence.
Planting Prosperity Mini Grants
The Pediatric Resiliency Collaborative has extended the application deadline for the Planting Prosperity Mini Grants to Friday, August 30.
The purpose of these mini-grants is to increase awareness and participation in services that can prevent or mitigate the effects of toxic stress. This grant opportunity is specifically intended for community organizations that are actively engaged in supporting pregnant individuals and who have demonstrated experience in outreach and educational initiatives within their communities. Awarded grantees will carry out communication and prevention strategies for education, engagement, and outreach around ACEs and the benefits of buffering services.
