What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I'm currently looking for work. I am studying for my Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Health with an Emphasis in Trauma. I am interested in working with children who: are self-harming, have suicidal ideation, and have attempted suicide.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
I do advocate work for AFSP on occasion. I also write a blog regarding my own journey through coming out of a very toxic relationship with my mother who is a Narcissist with Sociopathy and Borderline Personality Disorder.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
My minor is in Trauma because of the importance of understanding how it affects people, specifically youth. Those who have experienced numerous ACEs are 12 times more likely to commit suicide. That's staggering, so I believe that comprehending trauma is a major factor in preventing suicide in youth.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I am not currently, hence the reason why I was so interested in this organization
