The three health information products that I chose are: Infographic Blog post Radio ad I decide to target adults who would help build resiliency in children. These adults are not their parents, but other childcare workers. For example, when a child goes to a daycare or school, they may start to "act up" and misbehave. Instead of expelling or punishing the student, the adult should learn why this child is acting in this manner. In order to learn why the child is acting in this manner, they...

Building Resilience with Children During Racial Discrimination & Violence: This attached Resilience Brief for Children has been the hardest one I have written yet. I have been an active advocate for the equal treatment of people from all backgrounds, religions, ethnic heritages, orientations, and families my entire life. It is hard to see the pain present today, not only due to COVID19 but also due to the harm and anger we see daily in the news. I want to share a story about the person...

Children of the incarcerated have a higher number of Adverse Childhood Experiences than the general population and carry an...

The dose-response relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and mental illness is a public health concern. Findings from literature have illustrated the importance of early interventions in order to alleviate the effects of ACEs and improve children’s development (Felitti et al., 1998). The proposed grant seeks to explore ACEs in children aged 12-17 years old in Leon County, Florida. The provision of mental and physical resources at various levels of the social ecological...

In 2020, more than half a million children were served by foster care systems across the nation. Yet, the topic is seemingly nonexistent; unmentioned in the media, forgotten in political discourse, and even overlooked in the field of public health. The initial removal of children from their homes is itself a traumatic experience, in addition to whatever circumstances led to removal; an entire traumatized population is left to a system that kicks them out at midnight on their 18 th birthday.

An ever-increasing number of studies show a correlation between the number of ACEs and devastating health and behavioral events later in life. To prevent these outcomes, we must prevent the occurrence of ACEs, which means directing prevention efforts at the parental level. An often-overlooked population is the military spouse community and the children of active-duty military members. With spouses who are often not co-located with their family and the transient life of forced moves every...
