2a-2 Community Engagement and Resource Center
Project Description:
Beginning in 2014, CEDD and long-time community partner, WarmLine Family Resource Center, started a new project to jointly staff and operate the MIND Institute Resource Center.
Our Community Engagement and Resource Center is user-friendly for people with disabilities and their family members, community advocates, trainees and professionals. The Center provides parent-to-parent support and connections to resources within the MIND Institute, the UC Davis Medical Center, and the community. The Center supports over 1900 families annually (40% Spanish speaking). We continually develop the Center as a place of community engagement and partnership as we adapt to the increased availability of on-line resources. The Center now offers small-group training and networking opportunities for researchers and community members on partnership strategies (see Dissemination goals). We have staff who are bilingual/bicultural in English and Spanish; and staff who support Black families in accessing culturally appropriate care.
