How are law enforcement leaders using ACEs science to change policing?
Eleven years ago, Pennsylvania Executive Deputy Attorney General Robert Reed learned about the landmark Adverse Childhood Experiences Study , which linked childhood trauma to a higher risk of aggression, substance abuse, suicide and many life-threatening mental and physical diseases later in life.

Building a Restorative Restart to School in the Fall

Re: How Parents and Teachers Can Calm Kids' Getty Fire Anxiety [latimes.com]

Re: Unanswered cries: Why California faces a shortage of mental health workers (calmatters.org)

All the other wealthy countries in the world recognize health care as a "public good" which means they subsidize it and plan for its equitable distribution as best as their resources allow. Here in the US, behavioral health services require intensive person to person time - robots need not apply. Business oriented efficiencies do not exist or...
