ABOUT THE LEARNING SESSION

In this Prevention in Action webinar, the Healthy Oxford Hills team will discuss a recent project called Resilience Matters to Me, a community messaging project to reduce stigma and open conversations about mental health and trauma. The process of translating research findings into clinical practice to improve population health is slow and inefficient, particularly in rural communities. Knowledge often does not reach the people who can benefit from it the most. Using Boot Camp Translation (BCT), an evidence-based method of partnering with community members as co-investigators to translate complex health information into locally relevant, actionable messages, a community group in Western Maine developed messaging on the topic of adverse childhood experience (ACEs) and resilience.
