The Interconnection of Safety and Belonging
Happy, Healthy New Year’s Wishes for You! Most of us have heard this phrase multiple times over that past week. Where exactly do happy and healthy start?? I believe the felt sense of safety is the common denominator. We are all looking for relief from the stress of the past few years, but some of us also continue to help ourselves or others cope with and learn from the adversities and toxic stress from our past. Research tells us that connection to competent and caring people and...

Building Relationship with Ourselves and Others
I recently listened to an interview featuring David Richo. He wrote a book several years ago, How to be An Adult in Relationships , in which he explained what he calls the Five A’s that help relationships flourish. What he said made so much sense, and I saw applications beyond individual relationships. I believe we can use the Five A’s to better understand relationships with others and ourselves and even apply it to other contexts. He explained that the Five A’s are what we need as infants...

How to Create Lasting Change at Work: The Technical vs The Cultural
Copied from: https://www.chefaloconsulting.com/post/how-to-create-lasting-change-at-work-the-technical-vs-the-cultural Creating lasting change is no small task. Still, it's frustrating when most organizations fail to create the sort of lasting change that is the hallmark of effective social justice and DEI work--and the reason why is complex. If we were to boil it down to the simplest answer possible, it would be that organizations hyper-fixate on the technical while leaving the cultural...

The trouble with trauma (-informed), the aggravation of ACEs (screening): We're trying to fit both into traditional frameworks and it isn't working BY: Jane Stevens (PACEs Connection Staff)
REPOST of Jane Stevens' blog 12/13/22 What do you call it? The PACEs movement (PACEs = positive and adverse childhood experiences)? The NEAR movement (NEAR = neurobiology, epigenetics, ACEs and resilience)? The resilience movement? The trauma-informed movement? No matter what you call it, this movement emerged from two mind-bending, culture-changing developments that grew and evolved over the last 25 to 30 years. One is a groundbreaking epidemiological study, the CDC-Kaiser Permanente...

Beyond the One-Size-Fits-All: A Compassionate Approach to Community Health
In my work, I notice a common theme centered around the misconception that there is a universal remedy for complex issues such as community health. Effective responses require us not to just tell individuals and communities how to “fix it” but require deep listening and compassion.

This process involves going beyond surface-level solutions to understand the underlying causes and unique...
