In this episode of Delusional Optimism, Dr. B and Seth Creekmore speak with Jane Stevens, founder of PACEs Connection. Jane shares what inspired her to understand ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) and PACEs (positive and adverse childhood experiences) and what motivates her to move this initiative forward. She also talks about the upcoming changes with the organization.

“Anybody who has the things that happened to them as a child, it doesn’t matter what your politics are. If there’s no resilience built in, there’s going to be damage, and that damage manifests itself in a lot of different ways.” -Jane Stevens [10:12]
