History

The Resilient Amador Collaborative held its first meeting in late 2017. ​Over 25 different representatives from the community, local organizations, and agencies helped shape the structure and goals of the collaborative. In spring of 2018 a two-day training on ACEs and trauma-informed care was held

for the general community and that fall the first Resilient Amador community gathering was held, introducing Resilient Amador. A  panel discussion was held around what knowledge, opportunities, and challenges exist currently.

In fall 0f 2019 members of the coalition began offering introductory trainings to the community around the topics of ACEs, Trauma, what it means to be Trauma-Informed, and Resilience.  Today we are continuing to build on these initial efforts, working together to create a trauma-informed and resilient community here in Amador County.
