Alive and Well Communities

The organization develops and manages community councils in the Kansas city and st. louis metropolitan regions, to design and implement plans for becoming "trauma informed and resilient." Activities that community councils may choose to implement include but are not limited to: public awareness and education campaigns, activities to engage organizations and residents of Communities that have experienced dis-investment and trauma, and activities to engage public institutions in developing trauma-informed practices and policies.

The organization provides training and technical assistance where not otherwise available to organizations, to assist them in designing and implementing policies and practices that recognize and respond to the trauma and toxic stress experienced by the people they serve in order to improve outcomes and create wellbeing.
