A wonderful read for parents, mentors, coaches, and youth advocates, Cultivation of the Heart by Julius Thibodeaux-Hasan tackles the poignant challenges facing young people who have suffered from a multitude of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES).  When it feels like there is no hope and no way out, what does it take for youth to make it through? Thibodeaux shares his very personal story in the hopes of transforming the lives of young people whom society has written off. This Writers’ Block is part of the Art + Wellness initiative.
