I'm a pediatrician who is interested in provider education around ACEs and resilience as well as assessment of ACEs in clinical settings in combination with screening for social needs. I recently came across a great set of education modules provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics, from the Early Brain and Child Development Section, which can be found here: https://www.aap.org/en-us/advo...ducationModules.aspx Looking forward to working with you all!

Today at 9:23 AM Hello Nkem - I'm sorry if I didn't quite understand how to respond this invitation. I did enter requested info into spreadsheet. My work has focused on the impact of trauma on Transition Age Youth (TAY). I believe traumatic experiences are under-reported, under-recognized and under-treated (and over-treated w/ psychotropics). I recently wrote a blog that reflects some of my views - What if ACEs (Adverse Childhood Events) Were the Basis of Mental Health Treatment? - Mad In...

First, I want to express appreciate for those that have taken the time to comment here. I also am seeing folks adding themselves to our Google spreadsheet.

I am always interested in the deepest root causes of disease, dysfunction, and...
