Until recently I have spent the last 10 years living in Nashville, TN. Early on I became involved with the understanding of attachment theory, trauma informed care and ACE's. I began training on attachment and trauma on the local and then national level in 2012. I have been part of the ACE's initiative in Tennessee and have been trained as a trainer in Building Strong Brains. I was fortunate to get to be part of the work in Tennessee and I am excited to continue that work here in Arkansas to ensure that we are all trauma informed and embracing this paradigm shift. It is vital to our children and to our state that we understand ACE's and are practicing trauma informed care.
