The Absence of Punishment in Our Schools

Rebecca Lewis-Pankratz ·
Where to begin... My heart is full of hope and joy as I watch the trauma-informed schools movement swell across our nation and planet. The science of ACEs is mind-bending to say the least and we are now able to open up a much deeper dialogue about human behavior and health. Ultimately this work is about healing… All. Of. Us. A new consciousness is taking root around ending the “us vs them” construct. The idea is growing that we’re all on this journey together and that no matter where our...

Re: State Incentivizing Doctors to Perform Adverse Childhood Experience Screenings

Taryn Yates ·
There is a small pilot project being done here in Boise. Dr Tom Patterson is the lead on that. I know they started fairly recently screening parents of babies at their four month appointment. The idea is that if they can identify parents with high ACE scores, they can put them in touch with more resources and perhaps prevent intergenerational ACE transmittal.

ACEs screening is about building relationships, says early adopter

R.J. Gillespie ·
Whether or not to screen for ACEs in primary care is an important debate—and I hear and respect the passion from both sides of the argument. I fall in the “pro-ACE assessments” camp, but with some important caveats. I think that assessments for ACEs are dramatically different from screening for autism or developmental delays. In my opinion, assessments for ACEs in primary care should be primarily about building relationships.

Very thoughtful approach to ACE screening and especially powerful when linked to a resilience screen as well--which Dr. Gillespie advocates.

By Jerry Davich, Chicago Tribune, September 7, 2020 “Be loving. Be caring.

These situations include divorce, domestic violence, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, parental mental illness and...
