We need this here in Napa and I'm so badly trying to find the connections to make this happen! I am a survivor and am so passionate about ACEs and Resilience. I've done my own research and know so much after two years, and no not google research.. I'm so happy to hear, though, that this is already happening else where (SURVIVORS helping survivors) because we can help those like us, but not all of us have the ability to reach the credential necessary to get noticed for our compassion, knowledge and skills.. Not to mention our history of struggle unto success and survival. I guess that all depebds on how one defines success - another subject for another time. Congrats on the huge accomplishments!

Hi Akacia Smith- I appreciate your post and thank you. As survivors we can do so much! No need for a college degree. What you have is first hand knowledge, experience, truth and through your own research more then a lot of "professionals" know. Maybe what we need to do is rotate this event around the United States. I have survivors in New York that would like it there as well! You never know
