Reply to "How to get behavioral/mental health providers to authentically appreciate the effect of ACES on physical health and their role in communicating with physical health clinicians?"

As a family doc I see the problem from the other end. Except for a goodly number of pediatricians, the medical profession, especially general internists, gynecologists and psychiatrists, are largely ignorant of the adult physical health impact of childhood maltreatment, never mind being familiar with trauma informed care. Thus I think it is up to non-physician therapists to appreciate this issue and recruit and lean on consulting physicians to respond to these needs in their clients. I have an (embargoed) review article awaiting publication on adult diseases correlated with child abuse and neglect and at the end of August will give a poster presentation on this issue at the IVAT Summit in San Diego. I have included a copy of my Powerpoint for your use.

Santa Clara County has a reputation for sophisticated child abuse programs. If there is any way I can help let me know.
