PACEs and the Social Sciences

PACEs occur in societal, cultural and household contexts. Social science research and theory provide insight into these contexts for PACEs and how they might be altered to prevent adversity and promote resilience. We encourage social scientists of various disciplines to share and review research, identify mechanisms, build theories, identify gaps, and build bridges to practice and policy.

Linda Grabbe: Helping her communities develop resilience through the Community Resilience Model

Jane Stevens ·
Grabbe searched for models that would help her homeless and addicted patients. “There are good body-based models for psychotherapy, which may be the most effective approach for trauma,” she says, “but hardly any of my patients were receiving any kind of therapy. There are thousands of people in our communities who have high ACE scores who will never get the years of psychotherapy they deserve. CRM is a self-mental wellness care tool and is exquisitely trauma-sensitive—so it can help enormously.”

Social Science Framework Focuses Attention on Policy Initiatives to Reduce Childhood Adversity in California

The report employs a broad social science framework to examine the sources of adversity in systemic racism, economic inequality, environmental hazards, and inadequate community resources to support community resilience.

Adverse Childhood Experiences as Predictors of Perceived Health: Assessing the ACE Pyramid Model Using Multiple-Mediation [scholarlycommons.hcahealthcare.com]

By Phillip Hughes and Tabitha L. Ostrout, HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine, November 1, 2020 Background: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have been shown to contribute to a litany of mental and physical health problems, including several chronic diseases and death, via a model known as the ACE pyramid. Many of the results of ACEs in the ACE pyramid are known contributors to poor perceived health, which has significant health implications. Despite these results, a possible link between...

Re: PACEs, an introductory PowerPoint, to build community involvement.

McKinley McPheeters ·
Thank you for sharing this! It's a valuable compilation of research and information. I noticed on Slide 11 that the change of ACEs to PACEs doesn't make sense in the context of that slide (to me). I understood the point though! It would be super interesting to see a version of the Three Realms of ACEs document that includes a variety of positives of each of those areas!

Re: PACEs, an introductory PowerPoint, to build community involvement.

Dennis Haffron ·
Thank you for your comment. The information on slide 11 was an attempt by me to bridge the gap between the ACEs study and the trauma informed responses that have developed. In Dr. Burke Harris’ Ted Talk she focused on the predictability of ACEs for individuals, which is not supported by the ACEs study, and her idea of ACEs becoming a movement, which was more in line with the ACEs study. When following up on her Ted Talk and in reading her book THE DEEPEST WELL I was able to follow her...

The LANCET stresses Social Determinants of health

Much evidence has been published supporting Pender's call for social determinants to be considered as key in understanding and treating mental illness. The Lancet Commission on global mental health and sustainable development stated that research consistently shows a strong association between social disadvantage and poor mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic has further focused attention on the importance of social determinants in causing both mental and physical illness.
