What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
My career as a professional fundraiser was deveoted to seeking and providing funding for Mental Health and Substance use. I learned of Dr. Anda, CDC, ACE's study in 2011. We used his data to support our case for support of a School Based Children's mental health program. Since that time I've worked for two organiztions, in VA and Penn. Everywhere I go and I spread the word about ACES's. Unfortunately, I continue to meet mental health providers who have little to no understanding about this research and the impact trauma informed care can have on the lives of those with high ace's scores.
