What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
Resilience and Recovery go hand in hand. Both emphasize growing through challenges. Understanding ACE's can help people understand their various mental health/substance use challenges in a different way.... as being not something that is wrong with them..... and that they are affected by generational traumas, patterns that may have been continuously passed on through generations, and that now there are tools and understandings that can help stop that process and create new, healthier patterns of managing emotions, building relationships, moving forward in life in general.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I am associated with the Outer Banks Resilience Project
