Greetings, and welcome the ACE Case, where we make the case for the importance of addressing childhood trauma. Adverse childhood experiences have a ripple effect across society. Trauma is embedded in all of our lives, impacting our health and wellness in many ways. Follow along as we have honest conversations with community members in the Payahuunadü (Bishop, CA) in which we share stories surrounding health, wellness, resilience, and healing. Together we break down the science of trauma, the power of resilience as well as presenting resources and tools to help you heal.
Episode 1: Topah Spoonhunter stopped by the studio for some coffee and conversation. We covered a lot of ground including family, education, growing up in a rural community, parenting, culture, Indigenous brilliance, PTSD, and a whole lot more. As always your feedback and questions are appreciated. I can be reached at lwilson@ovcdc.com
Episode 2: Esther Hampton came by to drink iced tea and discuss early childhood development, family life during the pandemic, and being raised by her grandparents in a rural Indigenous community. Esther unpacks how ACE science and trauma informed care might change the way we look at parenting, education, and addiction. We also discussed applications of trauma informed care and how to navigate wearing multiple hats in a small town.
Thanks for listening and happy healing!
