What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I retired from the Michigan Department of Corrections after 37 years. I started as an officer and ended up supervising a prison and was acting warden. I have worked with thousands of prisoners and observed the outcome of those with high ACEs scores. I was also a member of the State of Michigan Traumatic Incident Stress Management Team.
I am now certified as a Nonviolent Communication trainer and program goes hand in hand with ACEs. Currently I am working with high school and middle school students who have had many barriers and obstacles in their lives.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
Jackson County, Michigan
