BRACE is comprised of community partners all working on or related to trauma and ACEs. Prior to BRACE meeting formally this past fall, Drs. Jennifer Matthews and Erin Roberts (both on the BRACE leadership team) conducted a survey amongst ACEs leaders to see what agencies were doing in the areas of ACEs, resilience, and trauma. This provided BRACE with a foundation of what work was already being conducted in these areas, as well as if ACE data already existed within Pitt County. We are using this data to determine next steps. Additionally, the community has expressed a need for a Resource Guide related to trauma and ACEs. While several resource guides already exist, this group has decided it will develop a resource guide that fully encompasses the specific needs of those who have experienced trauma. As with most community work, it is a slow-moving process.
