What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I believe that the ACE Study and Neuroscience has provided us the evidence-based research to make a conscious change from our complex system of punishment and blame, to a compassionate system that will nurture sustainable positive outcomes within our society. We have the research showing us that the traditional approach is not working. On the other hand, we have a depth of research that supports "why" we need a new approach.
