This year includes a series of webinars, the Compassionate Champion Awards, a State Agency Summit and more events and opportunities to recognize the work taking place across the state. This is a time to celebrate the exceptional trauma efforts accomplished to date, share best practices and resources for trauma-informed care, and learn how trauma-informed practices can enhance organizations, for both staff and service recipients. ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ ๐ด๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐กโ ๐๐ ๐๐-๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐กโ๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ถ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ (๐น๐๐ถ๐ถ) ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ (๐๐๐ท).

Become An Equity Challenge Champion!
We encourage organizations to partner with us on theย 21-Day Equity Challenge.
The 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge, powered by United Way of Delaware (UWDE) and YWCA Delaware (YWCA), is your chance to build more effective social justice habits, particularly those dealing with issues of race, power, privilege, and leadership, by joining thousands of other Delawareans in a 21-day journey of self-discovery that you complete online, wherever you are comfortable.
From Monday, August 17 until Monday, September 14, participants receive a daily e-mail challenge to learn about the history and impact of racism in Delaware, and the ways that bias, prejudice, privilege, and oppression show up in our everyday lives. UWDE and YWCA will also be facilitating conversation and promoting engagement with others in the 21 Day Racial Equity Challenge Facebook group.
The WCAC has been an active supporter of the challenge as part of our engagement with the Delaware Racial Equity and Social Justice Collaborative. We hope that you will consider signing up. Sign Up For The Challenge today.

We’re the grateful beneficiary of the 2017 Holly Ball!
Patty McCoy and Gigi Slattery, Holly Ball chairmen, recently presented our Executive Director Jill Rogers with a $20,000 contribution.
This generous donation will help us continue to provide evidenced-based programs and the highest-quality clinical services to keep kids out of the hospital, keep them from hurting themselves and each other, and strengthen their individual resiliency so they can grow and thrive despite obstacles in their lives.
The Holly Ball Foundation is a non-profit organization which supports fellow local non-profit organizations within the Delaware community. A yearly donation, generated by the Holly Ball held each December, benefits a worthy non-profit organization focused on serving children and women in Delaware.

The DGS Harvest Moon Farm-to-Table Dinner this fall was a big hit!
And there were lots of big hearts in the barn, too! We’re extremely grateful to all of our sponsors, guests, and volunteers who made this evening possible and to Kelli Wilke for her fabulous photography. For many more photos from this event, check out the album on our Facebook page.
