I am a public health professional working in community health education. I work for a grant-funded program that aims to reduce youth substance use and focuses on prevention.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?

What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
As a community health educator who works with youth, schools, and the healthcare community, I see the impacts of ACEs play out every day. There is increasing interest in understanding the impacts of ACEs, reducing the incidence of new ACEs, and fostering resiliency in our youth.

I am currently not.
