Vision & Mission Statements
Vision:
The BBL team aspires to build resilient, equitable communities empowered and sustained by brain-friendly knowledge and skills.
Mission:
BBL impacts communities through training, coaching, and consulting to build supportive relationships and regulating environments leading to resilience and equity.
Our Community Impact:
The Building Better Lives Initiative of Franklin County Family and Children First Council collaborates with local agencies to provide brain-based trauma training, consultation, and implementation support.
The initiative began in 2012 with a focus on increasing trauma-informed knowledge. Using practices from Dr. Bruce Perry and research like the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), BBL is now moving beyond teaching service providers the knowledge of trauma's effect on persons interactions with the world. Our newest training series now also include the Application and Integration of trauma-competent skills that equip service providers to not only respond to the complex needs facing our community, but also build more equitable and resilient systems of care.
