Reply to "Screening for ACEs in Emergency Rooms"

Darn legal fears. I do tell my patients I only want their score. Not what they scored on. What gets me excited is the moment they realize they are not alone. Giving their score for the first time is an unconscious decision to become vulnerable. When I normalize the score using the NEAR@Home model, it starts the reframing of the events that have been kept secret. And now that they have shared the secrets indirectly threw the score, I tell them they have started the healing process.

As I apply ACEs each time, I refine my approach. What drives me is that every patient I serve gets a chance to heal.
