SUMMARY:August 2026 Lunch and Learn – From Adversity to Hope with Alexis Hill
DESCRIPTION:\nAnother nice turnout for the return of the Lunch and Learn program at Samaritan following a summer break. Our thanks to Alexis Hill of the Metro Public Health Department for leading us in a discussion of Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) and their impact on lifelong health and mental health. She reminded the audience that with hopeful messaging and a strengths-based lens, participants will move beyond a focus on adversity and trauma to build practical skills in fostering resilience within our community.\n\n\n\nAlexis Hill is a Public Health Administrator at the Metro Public Health Department, where she serves as a Community Impact Coordinator for the Resilient Communities and PACEs (Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences) Education program. Her role supports initiatives for the Behavioral Health and Wellness Advisory Council, Community Mental Health Systems Improvement initiative, and All Children Excel Nashville. Alexis holds a master’s in Public Health with a concentration on mental and behavioral health.\n\n\n\nAlexis’s work with Metro focuses on training the community about PACEs, resilience, and hope using a strength-based approach, and working hands-on with the community to promote holistic health and well-being that improves public health outcomes for all to thrive.\n\n\n\n\n
