What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I'm interested in networking with individuals who share my compassion for youth and families who have experienced ACE. The ACE study has given me insight into the what rather than the why perspective of childhood development and youth behavior. I believe that ACE's can be are a key component to creating resilient individuals specifically young adolescents in the justice system. When adversity is changed into positivity one becomes self-aware, social awareness is formed and we began to have the ability to self-manage our emotions. Joining PACE will hopefully connect me with like minded individuals and also further my understanding of resilience science
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
