CCHE identified strategies that advanced practice and shifted organizational culture

A growing awareness of the impact of trauma on people’s health and wellbeing has underscored the need for trauma- and resilience-informed approaches to working with patients and communities. Resilient Beginnings Network (RBN) was a three-year learning program dedicated to advancing trauma- and resilience-informed pediatric care delivery models. RBN was led by the Center for Care Innovations (CCI) with funding support from Genentech Charitable Giving. It supported 15 safety net organization teams in California’s San Francisco Bay Area.

CCHE’s evaluation of RBN identified six key findings related to teams’ work and the program’s contribution to progress and learning:

In addition to team-specific implementation strategies (e.g., screening for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), providing staff training on trauma- and resilience-informed care), CCHE identified that RBN teams began to shift broader organizational cultures to be more trauma- and resilience-informed.
