Hi, Elaine, and M. Danielle:
Yes, please know there are absolute links with the impact of ACEs and high-needs youth and families with respect to gangs and criminal-justice impacted communities.
Please visit our ACEs in the Criminal Justice System community https://www.pacesconnection.com...-in-criminal-justice,
Please know I've been on the City of San Diego Commission on Gang Prevention & Intervention for over nine years and Chair the Youth Committee. Should you want to schedule a time to connect and chat further, please know I would be honored to do so.
Having presented on ACEs science myriad times over the years with high-needs youth and families impacted by gang violence, please know there is so much we can provide and support families in their healing journeys.
