Connection, Capacity & Change
A Webinar Series with Laura Porter 2020
Laura Porter works with leaders in over 30 states, providing education, facilitation, and empowerment strategies for building Self-Healing Communities. She provides support and services to a wide range of groups, from parents and youth who are convening neighborhood conversations, to philanthropic leaders and government officials who are using ACE science in investment and policy decisions.
Self-Healing Communities is a model for increasing the capacity of communities to prevent ACEs and their effects, developed by Laura Porter. Stunning success from the model, including reduction in the rates of major social and health problems, are documented in peer-reviewed journals, an article titled “Self-Healing Communities,” and in the documentary “Resilience” by KPJR Films.
ACEs are traumatic or stressful experiences that affect human development and were investigated in a landmark study called “The ACE Study”.
This series of webinars was provided by St. Joseph Health, Community Health Investment as part of its work to support the understanding of ACEs and the adoption of practices that support efforts that help Sonoma communities become more compassionate and resilient.
