Parenting, volunteering
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
Sashbear, a variety of adult ADHD peer support groups, individual neighbours and friends
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
Hv seen the impact of trauma in friends and family. I follow the work of Suzanne Zeedyk and Gabor Maté; heard abt the
ACES research many years ago on the CBC Radio show “Ideas” and was immediately convinced of the power and promise of this work to make change. Unfortunately, not enough people who cd help create change (esp in all of our institutions) have the guts to do it. There are more and more grassroots efforts, so I do hv hope. I was involved in non-coercive, self-directed and direct democracy education (a school based on the Sudbury Valley School) and it was transformational.
But it all started with a home birth and La Leche League when my oldest child was born.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I’m not.
