In May of 2019, Pinetree launched its first Resilience Conference with Dr. Robert Anda and Laura Porter, two of the leaders in the field of ACEs and trauma-informed care, as the keynote speakers. The Conference brought together health care practitioners, social workers, educators, mental health counselors, law enforcement officials, and other community leaders to raise awareness of ACEs, motivate collaboration, and inspire action addressing a host of community issues, most especially our substance misuse crisis, at their root cause. Since then we have had conferences focused on building Positive Experiences and enhancing Developmental Relationships.
