Hi Dianne, Thanks so much for your comments, thoughts and questions, and being brave enough to share your personal history! It reinforces in my mind why it's so necessary that health care systems should be trained in trauma-informed practices. I recently interviewed a nurse practitioner, Annie Lewis-O'Connor about another project. But she founded and directs the C.A.R.E. clinic at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

Jeoff Gordon sees PACEs science, PACEs Connection playing a vital role in ‘relieving some of the most anguishing pain in our society.’

Carey Sipp ·
Note: PACEs Connection is in dire financial straits. We are asking for support, from you, our 57,586 members, to help cover the loss of foundation funding that was promised and did not come through. Pay and hours have been cut for our staff—most of us will be laid off for the month of December. Another grant will pick up in January, but we will still be underfunded. Since sounding the alarm this summer, we’ve raised about $26,000 . Thankfully, about 25% of new donors are making monthly...
