PACEs and the Social Sciences

PACEs occur in societal, cultural and household contexts. Social science research and theory provide insight into these contexts for PACEs and how they might be altered to prevent adversity and promote resilience. We encourage social scientists of various disciplines to share and review research, identify mechanisms, build theories, identify gaps, and build bridges to practice and policy.

The Hill Magazine today published OPED about need to build community resilience

Bob Doppelt 3/3/218:27 PM

The Hill magazine today published my Commentary calling on the Biden Administration and Congress to recognize the urgent need to link their efforts to address both the pandemic and climate crisis with community-based population-level initiatives to prevent and heal mental health and psychosocial problems.

It can be found here: https://thehill.com/changing-a...out-a-major-focus-on

Building community-based, culturally-grounded, population-level mental wellness and resilience is one of the most important tasks we all face today.

Note that, although I am listed as the author, the message in the OPED is the result of many years of on the ground work and research by ITRC members across the U.S., including ACEs Connection and others working ob ACEs.

Perhaps this article illustrates the adverse power of complacency. Can we use this experience to create an effective ACEs responsive community or institution?

Thanks for the post.

One reason that I have been posting about covid 19 is that the responses serve as a model for the possible ways ACEs responses might function.
