What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I amplify and integrate the voices of youth served by the Children's System of Care. As a youth with experience in the children's mental health and foster care systems, with 10 ACEs, I ensure I infuse trauma informed care alongside intersectional topics to deliver the best care. My lifelong work is ensuring the reduction of ACEs, seclusion, and restraint so that our children and youth may see liberation.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I have worked with NJ's ACEs Action Plan with the Center for Health Care Strategies, but I am unsure if that is inclusive.
