Hi - a colleague just shared this - Priscilla may have access to a more recent version? Best, Megan

Way to go Binny! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6831052/pdf/pqs-4-e215.pdf Simmy King, DNP, MS, MBA, RN-BC, NE-BC*; Kuan-Lung Daniel Chen, DrPH(c), MPH†; Binny Chokshi, MD‡§ Introduction: To effectively address the negative health effects of early childhood trauma and adversity, healthcare professionals and healthcare institutions must understand the impact of adverse childhood experiences and trauma on health. This study aimed to validate a tool to assess knowledge, attitude,...

California is leading the nation in our response to trauma. Newsom approved a budget in June that will help California move toward universal ACEs screening, a goal that Nadine Burke Harris has long supported. The state is setting aside about $45 million next year to reimburse Medicaid providers in the state for trauma screenings of adults and children, and another $50 million to train 88,000 primary care providers on how to administer these screenings and to respond with trauma-informed...

We found this helpful in designing learning expeiences in GME - it's PBL & evaluated, forgive if this is duplicate information. Aspects that could translate well to UME include: 'Five primary aims of the Core Concepts portion of the CCCT include: (a) enhance practitioners’ empathic understanding of the nature of traumatic experiences (b) facilitate the development of clinical reasoning and clinical judgment in practitioners who work (or plan to work) with [trauma-exposed pts] ...(e)...

Beautifully written and well done colleagues! Lewis-O'Connor A, Warren A, Lee JV, Levy-Carrick N, Grossman S, Chadwick M, Stoklosa H, Rittenberg E. Womens Health (Lond) . 2019 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31456510

Andrea Garroway recently joined TIHCER. She published the following article describing a brief interdisciplinary intervention to train medical residents in trauma-informed primary care at a Veterans Affairs hospital. See attached article. "We generated a trauma- informed care curriculum involving five 1- hour didactic sessions, 10- minute group reflection regarding patient interactions prior to each didactic session, and optional patient care observation and feedback."

Thank you for sharing your experience in using the ACE findings clinically. Attached is an article describing our doing this in a 135,000 adult patient sample where the ACE Questions were integrated into a lengthy medical history questionnaire filled out at home as Step 1 of comprehensive medical evaluation. The benefits were major. Unexpectedly, colleague (but not patient) resistance was also significant. Our getting this information initially by an inert mechanism rather than face-to-face...

Thank you Ellen! We hope this paper will be a useful tool as the field of trauma inquiry develops further, and as we work towards a consensus on best practices.

Recording starts about 5 minutes into the presentation - technical difficulties! Will also post the slide set.

Trauma-Informed Medical Education (TIME): Advancing Curricular Content and Educational Context Given that key perspectives and practices are cemented during medical education, the authors advocate teaching trauma-informed care in UME, including curricular content, clinical skills, and self-care techniques.

It’s an enormous understatement to say that healthcare workers today are suffering. Every day, you hear interviews with nurses, physicians, social workers, and others in healthcare saying they’re pushed to the breaking point and beyond. But, by using skills taught in the Community Resiliency Mode l (CRM), even people under severe stress can weather the onslaught, do their work, and get along with colleagues. CRM is an evidence-based training program that’s being used by millions of people in...

Criticizing ACEs in Peer Reviewed Professional Journals Impairs Child Abuse Treatment Jeoffry B. Gordon, MD, MPH May 23, 2021 As a family doc practicing in San Diego I was privileged to hear Dr. Vincent Felitti talk about his inspired development of the ACEs questionnaire and its association with many adult mental and physical diseases directly from him only a few years after his original insight. Yet, although I had a lively clinic and learned how to manage a vast array of medical...

In 2019 and 2020, dozens of states enacted nearly 60 laws and resolutions that reference adverse childhood experiences or trauma. In this post, there's an interactive map that shows them all.

The Trauma Informed Health Care Education and Research (TIHCER) Collaborative presents, Elaine Miller-Karas, LCSW, and Dr. Lindy Grabbe, who will share their experiences in cultivating well-being in individuals and communities using the Community Resiliency Model (CRM). They will share the basic tenets of the Community Resiliency Model, which is based on cutting-edge neuroscience and teaches six wellness skills to restore the mind, body, and spirit to well-being during or after a stressful...
