What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I am retired.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
None, not from lack of interest but from inability to manage anxiety, which makes me unreliable.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I heard about ACES while listening/watching a presentation by Bessel van der Kolk in 2013 regarding childhood trauma and developmental consequences. My psychiatrist, who also does psychotherapy (belssings on him!!!) is probably as interested in learning about how to treat adult survivors of childhood developmental traumas as I am, showed his dedication to helping me and other patients by asking me to keeping looking online for any and all resources that might help us. Thus, I found ACES. Thank you for being here!!!
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I'm not part of a community-based ACEs initiative.
