This event is part of PACEs Connection's Connecting Communities One Book at a Time initiative, which will help you bring your community together around books that help us have critical conversations about trauma, racism, inequity, protective factors, positive childhood experiences, and the role community plays in preventing and healing trauma and creating resiliency.
For our first book, What Happened to You? by Bruce D. Perry, MD PhD, and Oprah Winfrey, PACEs Connection has partnered with the Children’s Trust Fund Alliance (CTF Alliance) and Georgia Essentials for Childhood, which is coordinated by Prevent Child Abuse Georgia and the Georgia Children's Trust Fund.
