About this Event
NH Children’s Trust is pleased to present our 11th Annual Strengthening Families Summit: Building Resilient Communities.
Annually, those dedicated to strengthening families so that children can thrive convene at the Strengthening Families Summit to learn, grow, and recharge. This year we focus our exploration on the power of communities to support and strengthen families.
The Summit this year will be an engaging in-person experience that will convene all facets of “community” invested in family strengthening and community building from around the state. We will begin our day hearing from a national leader in this work, while the rest of the day prioritizes NH expertise with an eye towards presenters and attendees who represent the diverse cultures and perspectives in our state.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Wendy Ellis
Wendy Ellis, Dr. P.H. Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. The Center for Community Resilience seeks to improve the health of communities by enabling cross-sectoral partners to align policy, program and practice to address adverse childhood experiences in the context of adverse community environments--or as Ellis has coined it "The Pair of ACEs". This innovative framing of ACEs, with an explicit focus on equity and prevention, has had a substantial influence on local initiatives, programs, public health initiatives and local, state, and federal policy. Using the Pair of ACEs framing, Building Community Resilience networks have successfully led systems and policy change focused on addressing long-standing economic, social and health disparities by partnering with community, integrating service delivery and building political will for change.
