Funding for the summit comes through a $3 million award to the UC Davis Perinatal Origins of Disparities (POD) Center to build and strengthen community-based health and social support systems in Yolo County to address Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress. Resilient Yolo is a collaborative of youth and families serving community-based organizations throughout Yolo County. Our mission is to create together a more resilient community in which all can thrive. Resilient Yolo is an unfunded collaborative that was formed by a group of caring individuals and organizations in 2014. The collaborative has an interest in strengthening our community’s resilience. The group’s mission revolves around the groundbreaking Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study and seeks out strategies to build awareness about childhood trauma and create methods to improve the lives of at-risk youth.
