Are you looking for Canadian content about ACEs or resources promoted by the CBC?
The CBC produces podcasts for CBC radio. The program IDEAS with Nahlah Ayed aired a 3 part series about Adverse Childhood Experiences and childhood trauma entitled “All in the Family”. It was produced by Mary O’Connell and explored the ACE study and how its findings are being integrated into medical practice. This program originally aired April 7, 2016.
If you already know about the ACE study and other experts on childhood trauma you might find some of the guests in this series familiar.
ACEs guests include:
Dr. Vincent Felitti: an international expert on child trauma and a co-principal investigator of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACE).
John Medina: a developmental molecular biologist and best-selling author. He is also an affiliate Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Dr. Kenneth Kunz: a Victoria-based oncologist and lecturer.
Nadine Burke-Harris: a San Francisco-based pediatrician and runs the Center for Youth Wellness. She lectures widely. See her PBS interview here.
