Books

These books were chosen due to the impact they have had on Donna and the research surrounding trauma.

They especially relate to the ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) workshops that Peaks Solutions offers. But they will be applicable to any topic you are interested in surrounding trauma and its impact on people. If you have read another book or know of another resource that would be beneficial for others in the field to read, please contact us so that we can add it to our list and share it with more people.
