The Community Resilience Cookbook web site is captured in this downloadable PDF. It illuminates the innovative, collaborative initiatives that have been successfully undertaken in nine diverse communities in the US and Canada to raise awareness of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their impact. The website and its printable version illuminate actions to prevent adversity and violence, promote resilience and healing, and contribute to building a culture of health. It is our hope and expectation that in these examples you will find useful insights into the key ingredients for effective community engagement and inspiration to mobilize your own community to take up this challenge. By sharing these stories, we hope to spread the lessons learned, build connections and illustrate how communities can begin the work of healing.
