What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
My interest in this concept is that I work with youth who have been incarcerated or are recently released from juvenile prison's. I know that some of them have a high ACE score and I would like to help them. Prior to my work as an Educational Advocate, I was a Juvenile Corrections Officer for 8 1/2 years. I have seen the effects incarceration can do to a youth and also have dealt with kiddos who have a high ACE score. I hope to learn more about ACE and help out the kiddos I work with.
