PACEs, an introductory PowerPoint, to build community involvement.

Re: PACEs, an introductory PowerPoint, to build community involvement.
Thank you for your comment. The information on slide 11 was an attempt by me to bridge the gap between the ACEs study and the trauma informed responses that have developed. In Dr. Burke Harris’ Ted Talk she focused on the predictability of ACEs for individuals, which is not supported by the ACEs study, and her idea of ACEs becoming a movement, which was more in line with the ACEs study. When following up on her Ted Talk and in reading her book THE DEEPEST WELL I was able to follow her...

The Lancet is discovering ACES… It’s a start
Exposure to childhood adversity is a global public health concern. Meta-analyses have shown that exposure to adverse childhood experiences are directly and intergenerationally associated with poor mental and physical health outcomes and result in considerable economic costs to society. However, the potential role of adverse childhood exposures in associations between social inequalities and poor long-term health outcomes is largely uncharted.
