Interesting idea: that the very process of screening for ACEs might re-traumatize children.
This is why my co-writer, @Louise Hart and I, believe in a wrap-around approach that is both healing and prevention focused. Educating adults about their own ACEs helps them stop cycles of trauma. We share many studies that give insight into this in our books, The Winning Family and The Bullying Antidote.
@David Dooley we'd lost touch with you about billboards and bumper stickers! But there's great news in that our beloved book, The Winning Family, is back in print, with a new subtitle: Where No One Has to Lose. All of Dr. Hart's independent research from the first edition has since been backed up by science. The book is packed full of quoteables that would be great on bumper stickers, and help get the word out to parents about this powerful resource. It's a recommended book on this site. Please check it out!
