Thank you for the exciting opportunity you offer us as a community. It looks like you have many takers. If you should need one more please let me know. I would love to share my story with you. I am an addiction specialist, a domestic violence counselor and youth educator who has literally worked with thousands of youth in my lifetime. I am now specializing in women's treatment, I am the founder and executive director of a residential treatment program exclusively for women suffering from addiction, PTSD, depression and childhood trauma. But most importantly I am an adult survivor of ACE's (very high score) who has endured many adversities and yet I thrive, I am resilient and very grateful. Last year I became ACE educated/aware and I haven't been the same since. I want to shout it out from the highest mountain top. I want the world to be ACE aware, I want to be part of that movement.
Sincerely,
~Julie Brand
