A Lifetime of Health and Wellness Starts Early

Resilience isn’t something you are born with. It is complex and developed over time, through personal experiences and environments, through parenting and opportunities, through responses from those who are...

Re: A Lifetime of Health and Wellness Starts Early
Education about promoting positive experiences and using simple brain science to help emphasize the importance of positive experiences in building healthy brains (hence bodies) are the keys to both preventing negative impact and building capacities after experiencing adversity.

Re: Reframing Childhood Adversity: Promoting Upstream Approaches 2021
Below is an excerpt from an email from the director of National Children's Alliance in May of 2021 describing this file. As important as it is for us, as professionals in the field, to have a greater understanding of the benefits and limitations of ACE screening and scoring, that cannot be the end goal—the next step must be to take that understanding and find effective ways to communicate that to the public at large, and to use that as the basis for policies that create long-lasting...

Krehbiel: Legislators look at shift in family and children services
Child welfare services could be more effective — and less expensive — if they were more proactive than reactive, an Oklahoma House of Representatives subcommittee was told Tuesday. “Sixty percent of child protective services responses nationally are for neglect only, … but our interventions have been predominantly focused on addressing … physical abuse,” said Clare Anderson, a senior policy advisor with the Chapin Hall child welfare research center at the University of Chicago.

The trouble with trauma (-informed), the aggravation of ACEs (screening): We're trying to fit both into traditional frameworks and it isn't working BY: Jane Stevens (PACEs Connection Staff)
REPOST of Jane Stevens' blog 12/13/22 What do you call it? The PACEs movement (PACEs = positive and adverse childhood experiences)? The NEAR movement (NEAR = neurobiology, epigenetics, ACEs and resilience)? The resilience movement? The trauma-informed movement?

One is a groundbreaking epidemiological study, the CDC-Kaiser Permanente...

Re: DR. ROBERT BLOCK: A pediatrician’s perspective on ACEs, resilience

I have spent most of my adult life trying to overcome the shame I felt about my constantly tumultuous emotional state. Learning about ACEs was life-changing for me, and I have been in hot pursuit of my recovery since I learned that although I was emotionally fragile, I was actually fragmented, and not fickle!! I feel extremely validated by the new information that is being released about the impact...
