What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
Initially I was interested in trauma in the Veteran's community. This led me to a deep dive into the somatics of trauma and how they become imbedded. Post-911 research has shown a high correlation between childhood trauma and the emergence of PTS in adults, particularly acute active duty military, veteran, and veteran families (usually associated with deployment, MST and/ or TBI).
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
No. This is a new avenue of interest, based on the above statement.
