Hi everyone, we hope you are all doing well and keeping safe and healthy.
On April 28, 2021 there was a very informative online discussion hosted by Aces Aware of California, USA on the topic of Racism and Discrimination as Risk Factors for Toxic Stress.
"Featuring opening remarks by California Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, this is the first in a series of webinars that will explore research demonstrating how racism and other forms of discrimination can serve as risk factors to activate a toxic stress response, and lead to health conditions that have been empirically associated with exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
This webinar:
- Reviews some of the main social and environmental factors that lead to health disparities, as well as the impacts of racism and discrimination on public health across communities.
- Broadly discusses the role of racism and discrimination as risk factors for toxic stress and ACE-Associated Health Conditions
- Makes the case to clinicians and clinical teams that implementing trauma-informed care principles and ACE screening can help promote health equity as part of supporting the health and well-being of their patients."
