What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I work at a retreat centre located within Springhill Institution, a men's medium-security federal penitentiary. One of the programs I facilitate there is the Houses of Healing, an emotional literacy/emotional healing program based on the book of the same name, written by Robin Casarjian. The book was written in the mid-80s, and I try to bring additional material to the program, including the ACE Studies, and the work being done by Gabor Mate, Bessel VanDerKolk, Johann Hari, and others. Curt Thompson, Peter Levine, and others. I first read about ACES in Chasing the Scream and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I am not part of a community-based initiative at this time.
