This group is focused on the descendants of Africans dispersed throughout the Americas during the Transatlantic Slave Trades. Topics include adverse childhood experiences, historical trauma, intergenerational transmission of trauma, African American parenting practices, health disparities, the effects of racism, microaggressions and implicit bias, as well as resiliency and posttraumatic growth.

Welcome to the Vermont PACEs Community, where we are passionate about spreading the word about the prevalence of trauma, its possible negative effects, and what can be done to build resilience in our state and beyond!
