Disrupting the Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences with Trauma-informed Practices

Did you know that there are simple trauma-informed practices you can adopt as a health care practitioner or provider that can disrupt Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their impact? ACEs are potentially traumatic events that occur during childhood (0–17 years) that have been linked to premature death and a variety of health, behavioral, and social outcomes. In fact, at least five of the top 10 leading causes of death are associated with ACEs. Trauma-informed care can disrupt ACEs and their effects, and health care practitioners are in a unique position to make a difference. Join us to learn and share both systems-level and relational strategies that you can integrate into your work, including a bottom-up brain approach for engagement and communication.
