The Opiod Epidemic is LIterally Changing Kids Brains (www.motherjones.com)

Christine Cissy White 7/5/172:15 PM

Excerpt from article by Julia Lurie interviewing Dr. Nadine Burke Harris.

MJ: What public health responses to this epidemic would you like to see happen?
NBH: We’d like to see every pediatrician in America screening for adverse childhood experiences, and making sure that children who are exposed to ACES are getting the care that they need so that we can do prevention. It’s the old saying: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Full article and reminder that we are speaking with Dr. Claudia Gold here in the next Parenting with ACEs Group Chat on what it means to be an ACE-informed pediatrician.

We are decades behind in assessing for ACES. Every time I go to doctor, the dentist, or the chiropractor, I experience again and again, how woefully ignorant the medical field is about the effects of trauma.

Hey Christine

I am so happy to be in the loop of what is happening on this site. You ladies are wonderful. You are certainly in the solution as the many are showing us HOW TO HEAL., or better What areas of our life we may still be sick and then how to heal that area. Good stuff.
