The Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT) at the University of Nevada, Reno.

This mission is achieved through university-based coursework; clearinghouses and libraries; continuing education workshops; product development and dissemination; conferences; and consultation and technical assistance activities.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I am interested in ACEs as they relate to behavioral health. I am an instructor and technical writer for the Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT) at the University of Nevada, Reno. My undergraduate and adult students want to know more about ACEs. I first heard of the study as an epidemiology student working on my Master of Public Health degree.
