Dispatches from the Field: Pioneers of Healing and Resilience [burkefoundation.org]

 

From The Burke Foundation, May 19, 2021

Interview with Dr. Nadine Burke Harris & Dave Ellis

We recently sat down with Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, California’s first surgeon general, and Dave Ellis, the first executive director of the Office of Resilience at the New Jersey Department of Children and Families.

A pioneering voice on prevention, early identification, and treatment of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Dr. Burke Harris gained national prominence with her viral 2015 TED talk on this topic. Dave Ellis made his name as a national leader in providing trainings and facilitating conversations on adversity and trauma in the lives of young children, and the lasting impacts of ACEs and generational trauma.

In our conversation, Dr. Burke Harris brought her clinical background to bear, sharing the critical role doctors and other health care professionals can play in prevention, early identification, and treatment of ACEs, and Dave Ellis provided his expertise on the need to partner with communities to design upstream solutions to prevent ACEs and get input on how best to manage their impact.
