NAC Rural Resilience Innovation Hub Convening: October 22, 2024
On October 22, 2024, NAC hosted an in-person Rural Resilience Innovation Hub Convening in Redding, CA. Champions from across rural Northern California for generative dialogue regarding the youth behavioral health ecosystem and the myriad state initiatives supporting this work.
On July 16, 2024, NAC launched the Rural Resilience Innovation Hub and kicked off a series providing opportunities for learning and dialogue around the many initiatives focused on children and families occurring across California.
Throughout the beginning of 2023, NAC members gathered to discuss strategic planning efforts as NAC enters its final year of funding from the Blue Shield of California Foundation’s Leveraging Collaboration to End Domestic Violence Initiative. The Population Health Innovation Lab (PHIL) team introduced the concept of taxonomy, which is the practice and science of categorization. A taxonomy can serve as an outline or blueprint for an organization or initiative. From the responses and feedback at the strategic planning meetings, a new NAC Taxonomy was developed.
Communities across California are impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress, although regions are affected differently. This paper identifies key opportunities to support successful screening, referral, and treatment processes for ACEs in rural Northern California.
The toolkit provides individuals and organizations messaging and graphics to share on social media aimed at raising awareness of ACEs, domestic violence, and NAC. This toolkit includes information and resources about ACEs and domestic violence generally, as well as region-specific. The long-term goal is to increase the general public’s understanding of domestic violence and the connection to ACEs, as well as to highlight the work of NAC and its partners. Increasing our engagement on social media will also allow us to better connect with NAC members and promote the work of members in the region.
This website showcases county-level data specifically for the NAC region. Dive deeper into county-specific rates of domestic violence, poverty, ACEs, health conditions, and more.
