What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I work in an inner city school in the middle of Charleston. The vast majority of our student's have high ACES. Add that with the current drug epidemic and foster care crisis in West Virginia means I can best serve my kids, by being Trauma Informed and learning ways to help my students (and consequently myself) find ways to to better cope with past, present and future stressors. I've known about ACES for awhile, but I heard of this sight through Dr. Lockridge and his Trauma Informed and Beyond Conference.
