The ACEs and Resilience movement is now across the US and worldwide, focusing on increasing awareness of how trauma impacts children and adults. There are now calls for more programs, projects, training and research on trauma from a baby's perspective. Recent programs highlight Trauma Informed Parenting, Maternal Health and ACEs, and Pediatrics and ACEs, but none of these approaches include the first 9 months of life, even though data clearly shows that the baby's experience of the womb environment, birth and attachment have lifelong effect. The Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health educates the public and professionals worldwide about how the baby's experience affects health throughout the lifespan. We have developed a professional educator program and an Adverse Early Experiences questionnaire and Resiliency Score. Our upcoming regional conference, Trauma Informed Care & Beyond: Improving Perinatal & Family Health for a Thriving Humanity, will take place in Denver, October 5-7, 2018.
