Helping PA Grow and Heal Together

Trauma-informed care realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others; and responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization.

Resilient PA promotes trauma aware systems and trauma informed care across all sectors of Pennsylvania. By raising awareness about the effects of trauma and promoting efforts to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors, we can break cycles of family and community trauma for all Pennsylvanians.

Resilient PA serves as the grassroots connector for local trauma-informed coalitions and is also a communications vehicle to get resources into Pennsylvania communities. We work with other partner organizations to foster coalitions in our communities that help us grow, become more resilient, and create a healing culture throughout the state.
