August 4, 2014: Next on City Vision, host David Onek and a panel of experts look at why childhood stress can impact long-term health.
What are the biochemical changes that occur because of early stress, and why can they reduce life expectancy? What diseases are most commonly seen in adults who have experienced childhood trauma? And what can doctors treating at-risk kids do to improve long-term health outcomes?
We will be joined by Dr. Vincent Felitti, pioneering author of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study. The ACE Study received a lot of attention in 2011 because of an article in The New Yorker Magazine featuring Dr. Nadine Burke at the Bayview Child Health Center and her use of ACE findings in the treatment of at-risk youths. On the show, we will also hear from a practitioner at the Bayview Child Health Center and its Center for Youth Wellness about what they've learned since implementing ACE insights three years ago.
Join us for the live discussion of these questions and more on Monday, August 4 from 7-8 PM.
