What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
Since graduate school (Bank Street College - Child Development/Early Childhood Ed), children's rights have been my compass for much of the work I've done (varied!). All informed my own personal healing including personal creativity that began in early childhood and has grown me through profound experiences over the years; working with the Muppets not the least of these! Last year working weekly with incarcerated combat veterans at San Quentin, hearing childhood through war through road to prison stories, writing a play for them based on their lives as they try to heal, this was the far end of a continuum that began when I co-founded a children's school in 1970. Learning about, contributing in any way I can to work on trauma and resilience, everything from my journey leads to this chapter.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
Not.
