The first of the videos consists of a five part series entitled:
10 Things to Know About Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
In this 5-part video series, Dr. Colleen Bridger, MPH, PhD., discusses how childhood trauma is a critical public health issue. Referred to as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's), ACE's are stressful and traumatic events, such as abuse or neglect, that have been linked to poor life-long health outcomes. As the number of ACE's increases (for a particular individual), so does the likelihood for developing chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer as well as risky health behaviours; low life potential; and early death. During this presentation, attendees will be introduced to ACE’s, the impact they have on health, and what can be done to overcome them.
The learning objectives for this 5-part video include:
Discuss the prevalence and causes of ACE's and their impact on the developing brain and bodies of children.
Discuss Trauma Informed Care as a system-based strategy to mitigate the effects of ACEs and help children heal from the (associated) trauma-induced toxic stress.
Learn about strategies (in San Antonio) aimed at creating a trauma informed city {community}.
