Highlights Adverse Childhood Experience (ACEs) may be mitigated by trauma‐informed social environments. However, there is little empirical evidence that show how community approaches can address ACEs. A participatory change process was implemented by a community coalition in response to ACEs. Data was used to track implementation, generate hypotheses and guide a community response to ACEs. Results show how one community initiated steps to build a resilient, trauma‐informed community.
