What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I've seen the impact of ACES in my own family and in the lives of the students I've been lucky enough to work with. ACES/Trauma has completely changed my worldview about the public health and educational challenges we face as local communities and as a society. The science behind ACES, healing, resiliency gives me deep hope that we can create community wide solutions to break the cycle of trauma.
