PBS NewsHour Special: Invisible Scars on Childhood Trauma & How to Survive Starts Monday, Dec. 14th

Thanks for sharing Cissy.  Thanks to Alison, I was able to find the segment directly.  So glad this is being discussed and admire the mom in this story for everything she is doing!  I have been so worried about all of these young kids during the pandemic .  Learning about ACES and finding my score of 8 really opened my eyes several years ago - grateful that trauma and CPTSD are being validated.  I am looking forward to catching the remaining segments.  xo

Hello Cissy, I'm with Gail and Edith, it was a great overview of ACEs. I'm looking forward to the remaining segments!

I am so excited to share this with folks - a great overview for those that want to learn about ACEs.  Agree with Edith - Its treatable!  (and it sure would be great for them to focus on primary prevention - Dr. Burke Harris just released her Surgeon General's report with LOTS of information about the science of ACEs.  Addressing ACEs in parents is primary prevention for their children.

PBS News Hour... Day 1:  So good to have this national positive attention for the topic we certainly understand as we serve our clients and communities.  I hope to hear a client or community member ask me if I saw this series on PBS.  Then I will know that the series is having an effect.  Most important message, "It's treatable." 

The segment begins at time 32:20 here:

The segment goes until 42:30.

This is funny, Cissy, Jane, and Elizabeth.

We didn't know this about each other but we all watch or listen to the PBS News Hour!  I often listen to the the prior night's podcast when I take my early morning walk. I do admit to fast-forwarding the Friday night edition (on Friday night) to the political commentary of Shields & Brooks, and then backing up the podcast to listen to the rest of it. I was especially inclined to do that for the last year. It was great to hear the promo about this series when I did my full replay yesterday morning.

I loved Judy Woodruff in the 1970s, when she was in Atlanta, at WSB-TV (Welcome South, Brother). I actually met her one time when I was working for Jimmy Carter, in the 1976 campaign, in the press department. This was when the campaign office was at 1976 Peachtree Street, in a three-story building before we moved to the "high rise" in Colony Square, near The High Museum of Art. Anyway, Judy Woodruff came by the office to pick up some press materials. We were using fax machines then (line up the "bunny ears" for best transmission), but she must have been on her way to work or something and that is why she took the trouble to stop by (we did MAIL out press releases, too!) Ms. Woodruff was so striking. But this one day she came by the office with her beautiful blonde hair in curlers. I thought that was very cool, that she was secure enough to not care what anyone thought of her being "out and about" in curlers. I was 19 years old and dazzled by members of the press who were so straightforward, fearless, professional, witty.

Yes. We will all be "tuning in" Monday evening at 6 p.m., and again the remaining three nights.

Carey:
I have to stay I started watching much more in the last few years because I was so disappointed that most news channels were doing so much editorial and so little reporting. That's so cool that you met Judy Woodruff and I enjoy hearing about all of your prior work and volunteer experiences! I'm looking forward to this series! Cis

This is wonderful, Cissy! Thank you for sharing and letting us know!

Hi Cissy, Am so looking forward to seeing this and the interview with you!

Thanks for the heads up about this Cissy. I hope I'll be able to see it in Nova Scotia. I do get PBS, so fingers crossed.
