Pediatric Resiliency Collaborative

The Pediatric Resiliency Collaborative (PeRC) is a community partnership focused on expanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) screening and referral services to all pediatric clinics in Santa Barbara County and linking providers to community systems.

PeRC’s vision is to ensure that every child and family has access to the knowledge, resources, and services through the care of trusted providers to build resilience and achieve well-being. ACEs are defined as stressful or traumatic experiences occurring before the age of 18, such as abuse, neglect, substance use, divorce, and/or domestic violence.
