What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I began learning about ACEs during my undergraduate studies. While learning about ACEs and how those scores could impact one's life, I knew I wanted to learn more so that I could do more for the children and families who have faced adversity. I know the importance of resilience and the difference it can make in the lives of children and families with a not so pleasant past. I want to continue learning about specific ways to educate others on the impact of ACEs and how building resilience can make such a significant difference in the lives of others.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
