- “Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) are one of the greatest public health issues of our day. But once we know about them, we can choose to act rather than react, because hope is not a feeling, it’s a belief in a future self.” – Dr. Allison Sampson-Jackson

- Teresa Caldwell uses Dr. Daniel Siegel’s “hand model of the brain” to explain how trauma effects the limbic area of the brain.
