Primary Prevention of ACES and Fostering Resilience as an Antidote

Gladys Twombly Richardson 1/5/124:25 PM

The primary prevention of ACES and fostering of Resilience, an antidote to ACES, has been a top priority for my husband, Dr. Burtt Richardson (a retired pediatrician) and myself, after hearing Dr. Felitti's ACES presentation in Maine in 2005.

Since primary prevention of ACES begins no later than the first day of life and continues for 18 years, we have been developing a program that informs and engages parents and community members living in a locally defined geographic area, e.g., a kindergarten catchment area, to reach out to all parents of newborns and infants in their neighborhood.

We would love to hear about other similar efforts, and would like to be in touch with others who might be interested in this approach in their neighborhood or town. Regards, Gladys

Hi, Gladys. I'm sending an invitation to the network to Robin Saenger in Tarpon Springs, FL. She might want to connect with you, since she's been part of project to integrate ACE concepts into the community. -- Jane
