Dr. Wendy Ellis, PhD, MPH
TITLE
Project Director, Building Community Resilience, Sumner M. Redstone Global Center
for Prevention and Wellness
BIO
Wendy Ellis is the Director of the Building Community Resilience Collaborative and
Networks at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University.
The Building Community Resilience (BCR) collaborative and networks are testing and implementing a process based on Ms. Ellis’ research
in designing a strategic approach for multiple systems to align resources, programs
and initiatives with community based partners to address adverse childhood experiences
and adverse community environments-- or as Ellis has coined it The Pair of ACEs". The strengths based approach is aimed at building the infrastructure to promote
resilience in vulnerable communities by improving access to supports and buffers that
help individuals 'bounce back' and communities thrive. Ms. Ellis has spent the last
decade developing and working to grow a 'resilience movement' to address systemic
inequities that contribute to social and health disparities that are often transmitted
in families and communities from generation to generation.
