The Vermont Kindness Project believes that all life is sacred and that our world would be a better place if we all had universal education about the medical science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). This research proves what we already know to be true, that stress leaves physical, emotional, and spiritual wounds in our bodies. Dr. Robert Anda, the author of the ACE study tells us that “what is predictable is preventable;” yet how do we prevent that which we cannot even speak? The ACEs framework is the language, and by bearing witness, we remove shame and empower ourselves and each other. The Vermont Kindness Project believes that the time is now to create a brighter and more loving world, and that kindness to ourselves, our fellow humans, and the earth can and should save the world.
