PACEs Science Advocate

The findings of the Positive & Adverse Childhood Experiences (PACEs) study and ACEs science demonstrate the importance of understanding how trauma affects our biology, neurology, behavior, and overall health and wellbeing. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their own relationship to trauma, resilience, and deepen their understanding of relationships and resilience as a key to building healthy learning environments. The foundational TREC themes of relationships, compassion, mindfulness, equity, inclusion, and growth mindsets are introduced and weaved throughout the training experience building practical experiences and applications of trauma-resilience. The TREC Model and process is introduced to demonstrate a practical set of processes, practices, and tools to create a trauma-informed and trauma-resilient healing-centered community and institutional model.
