Our Resilience

Fostering and building resilience among children is the focus of Partnership for Resilience, a growing array of education, health, and civic institutions.

We believe that building leadership capacity and facilitating systems change are foundational to our work as this work MUST be approached with a racial equity and social justice lens.

Family and community engagement are central to the success of our efforts and investing in adults is very critical to child well-being. Through collaboration between labor and management in schools we are able to realize this investment.

Vision, Mission, and Strategies

We envision an Illinois where systems support schools, families, and communities working together to ensure that all children have the educational, health and social-emotional support they need to be successful in life.

Our mission to improve the academic, health, and social outcomes for children by fostering trauma-responsive schools alongside effective family, school, health, and community partnerships.

Strategies:
  1. Create and sustain strong local and regional partnerships of schools, families, unions, health care and community organizations.
  2. Provide effective training and coaching to help school districts become trauma-responsive.
  3. Share our model with Illinois schools outside the two regional partnerships.
  4. Work with partner organizations to bring about needed policy changes that advance our mission.

Partners

The best accomplishments are typically never done alone. For this reason we partner with community advocates and school districts to provide resources for the benefit of the community members we support.
