ICYMI:🌱 A new chapter is here!

We’re excited to share that CCAC is retiring the Resilience Champions initiative and introducing Community Advocates—a more action-focused way to support trauma-informed work across Chester County.
What’s the difference?

✨ Resilience Champions = spreading awareness
✨ Community Advocates = turning awareness into action

If you’d like to stay involved (or get involved!), please take a moment to fill out our quick interest form:

Thank you for helping us build a more resilient, connected Chester County. 💙

We will be presenting at this meeting about our coalitions work and mission. Consider attending virtually to hear more from us as well as other programs in the county!

Today's will focus on advocacy, and we're sharing 2 opportunities this week! Tomorrow evening, attend the virtual Mental Health/Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (MH/IDD) Advisory Board meeting.

THE MH/IDD Advisory Board is a group of county staff and community members who help improve mental health and disability services in our area. They review local needs, check how well programs are working, and make recommendations on services, funding, and leadership. These meetings are open to the public!
