Primary Prevention

David Dooley 3/18/2012:34 PM

I was so happy to hear Dr. Melissa Merrick speak about a public health approach to dealing with aces. https://www.acesaware.org/heal/educational-events/

Her message was the importance of prevention...especially primary prevention. When a vaccine for the corona virus is developed there won't be any need for face masks, school shutdowns, event cancellations, quarantines, hospitalizations, etc., etc., etc.

The same is true for the adverse childhood experiences associated with unsupportive and harmful parenting. When a new kind of parenting education...one that reaches everyone, everywhere, all the time, becomes commonplace and widespread the need for intervention, treatment, healing, recovery, and rehabilitation will diminish.
