In 2023, recognizing a critical need to bring local organizations together for shared learning and growth in trauma-informed practices, we launched the Shelby County Collective in our home community of Shelby County, TN. We saw firsthand that many groups within our county were striving to support children and families affected by trauma, but there was a gap: they needed a place to collaborate, share experiences, and gain consistent guidance on implementing strategies proven to bring healing and long-term change.

The Shelby County Collective has become a growing movement, bringing together resources, expertise, and shared dedication to fostering hope and security. Together, we are laying the groundwork for long-term, positive change that uplifts our entire community

“I enjoy the nurture groups in the collective. It gives us tangible material to bring back and recreate with our organizations. I enjoyed the flow of conversation and support that the collective offers.”
