What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
Have worked on a project concerning NAS babies and realized that moms with high ACE scores are more likely to be facing this problem. These moms need help dealing with the events in their life leading to their high ACE score. If we help them and screen parents in pediatric practices for their ACE scores we may be able to improve parenting and break the cycle of ACE impact on child rearing and adult health issues.
