Every implementation team will be different, depending on your practice structure, type, and size. While there are many different roles to consider including on your team, it is important that at least one member of the team has strong expertise in the science of ACEs and toxic stress.

No matter how often your team decides to meet, it is important to schedule meetings on a regular basis. The team should meet often enough so that team members have the information and support they need to keep moving forward with their responsibilities.

It may. Teams at smaller practices may be made up of a few team members who are responsible for multiple roles at the practice and may also have multiple roles on the implementation team. At larger multi-site or multi-department practices, the team may need to be larger to represent each department and specialized roles, such as quality improvement (QI), and each member might be able to focus on a single team role.
