TRANS JOY BOISE
Who are We? Trans Joy Boise with Pacey & Bonnie Violet
🎙️Pacey (they/him)
Preston Pace is a mental health and recovery advocate. From experience in public speaking on recovery, mental health awareness, and suicide prevention to helping organize Boise’s first Trans Pride March, they believe in supporting and advocating for their community and all those who are marginalized. As an example, they have composed programs for secular recovery to aid those who suffer from religious trauma and addiction. These passions extend to their education as they have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and to their personal endeavors, including but not limited to app development for physical health support and recovery coaching.
They started a company, Ketamine Chronicles, that supports education on mental health recovery for those that are treatment resistant. It includes a blog and a soon-to-come podcast detailing both their recovery and that of those in their community.
