For the month of September, PACEs Connection is taking a break. Our staff will celebrate Labor Day and take this month to restore ourselves. We have picked our most popular episodes to run this month. Our second pick is Carey Sipp’s, PACEs Connection’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, favorite episode, Women of the PACEs Movement: Dr. Sandra Bloom. In consideration of Women's History month, the entire month of March was dedicated to the women creating a legacy in the worldwide PACEs movement. In this episode, we talked with Dr. Sandra Bloom. For the past forty years, Dr. Bloom has done pioneering work in the field of traumatic stress studies. From 1980-2001, Dr. Bloom served as Founder and Executive Director of the Sanctuary programs, inpatient psychiatric programs for the treatment of trauma-related emotional disorders and during those years was also President of the Alliance for Creative Development, a multidisciplinary outpatient practice group. Dr. Bloom is recognized nationally and internationally as the founder of the Sanctuary Model. Since 2012, Dr. Bloom has also served as Co-chair for the Philadelphia ACEs Task Force (http://www.philadelphiaaces.org.) In 2020 Dr. Bloom introduced a new, online organizational and clinical approach called Creating PRESENCE™ (https://www.creatingpresence.net). Creating PRESENCE™ is for creating trauma-informed, trauma-responsive and trauma-resilient organizations.
