What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I was introduced to the concept of Trauma Informed Care when I worked for Truman Behavioral Health in Kansas City. The concept has stuck with me and how I interact with people, be it clients, patients, or students. Since taking a job with the University, I am seeing how ACE events follow students even into higher ed. I would like to learn more about how trauma affects learning and behavior in older teens and young adults and learn how to best assist them in navigating their way to success. I am also interested in learning more about resiliency and assisting persons with trauma history tap into their resiliency skills. I see a lot of information out there about children but not as much with older teens and young adults. I would like to work to bring this work into secondary education.
