What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
My interest in ACE began in 2012 when I shared Dr. Felitti's ACE youtube video with the community coalition I was leading on children/youth with special health care needs. Since then this group (Innovative Approaches grant project) has established an ACE Sub-Committee that is working to incorporate ACEs into primary care (pediatric & OB & Family practice). We have such enthusiasm in our county for addressing ACEs that we are also planning a conference (just in the beginning planning stages as of Aug 2014).
