The Growing Resilience pilot project aims to support rural community efforts to promote child and family well-being and improve capacity for trauma-informed SUD prevention and early intervention.

This article highlights our use of the Community-Based Participatory Research model, which centers on forming meaningful relationships with rural communities through broad engagement, mutual learning, and shared decision-making. Working together, we are developing capacity for sustainable trauma-informed interventions that the community needs, wants, and can sustain with the community guiding implementation every step of the way.
