What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
On disability.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
I volunteer with the Welcome Home program, a program where volunteers socialize with former homeless individuals to help them feel a sense of connection to their community. If they don't build friendships outside of their homeless contacts, then the newly-housed may return to homelessness because of feeling lonely. Humans need social supports, so it's understandable that someone may rather be homeless among friends than be housed and feel lonely.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I have a personal interest as it applies to myself, my family, my friends, the people I volunteer with, and the population in general.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I'm not a part of any other PACE initiative.
