The BCR (Building Community Resilience) process is an approach that is informed by cross-sector research on barriers to addressing the root causes of community and childhood adversity.
Childhood adversity or trauma such as exposure to abuse and neglect, parental substance abuse and incarceration are often rooted in community environments lacking equity, as measured by concentrated poverty, poor housing conditions, higher risk to violence and victimization and homelessness. These are adverse childhood experiences occurring in the context of adverse community environments – what BCR has coined the "Pair of ACEs."
