What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I am the Eastern NC Programs Representative for Youth Villages. My position is to work with community partners to provide information about our programs which offer supportive services to youth and individuals ages 4-22 to address mental health needs as well as support services for youth who have been or currently are in foster care.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
Youth Villages
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
Working with youth who have experienced trauma many of who are foster care youth, we need supportive services to address the needs of youth to help youth and families move beyond experiences that are barriers to youth being able to thrive in the home, school and community. The need to broaden the communities awareness of adverse childhood experiences is so important to helping youth over trauma and healing for both youth and families.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
