What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I have a very high ACE score, myself (8) and have been working hard in healing, recovery and adult development for almost 30 years. In my consultancy I work both one-on-one and in collaboration with several local non-profits and agencies that serve adults, kids and transition age youth (TAY) in our most vulnerable local populations (including child and adult survivors of severe trauma, foster kids, homeless kids and adults, adults living with severe and persistent mental illness, and also immigrant TAY and adults. I believe strongly in the efficacy of ACEs as a way to understand adult suffering, dysfunction and illness (both mental and physical) and would like to help spread the word about ACEs as an invaluable tool for insight and care in any way I can.
