California Statewide Screening for Child Trauma in Primary Care [ChronicleofSocialChange.org]
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...

COVID-19 and Healthcare worker's families: behind the scenes of frontline response [thelancet.com]
By Amine Souadka, Hajar Essangri, Amine Benkabbou, et al., EClinical Medicine, May 17, 2020 During the COVID-19 outbreak, healthcare professionals are exposed to a high-risk of infection and mental health problems, but also fear of contagion and spreading the virus to their families. In fact, considering them as individuals implies looking beyond their function as frontline responders and taking into account their societal role as parents, spouses and offspring. While work-family balance is...

Re: Center for Healthcare Strategies: Great Practice-based Resource
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.

Re: Excellent Harvard Health Blog Post
Sometimes people wonder whether it is better to seek traumas by specific questions while others feel they should search for plausible trauma outcomes and then work backwards. As a result of our ACE Study findings, we decided to integrate specific ACE questions into our very lengthy general medical history questionnaire that was Step 1 of a system of unusually comprehensive adult medical evaluation that we had at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. This was used with 440,000 middle-class adults...

Attached as Item 3 is an article describing how routine ACE screening was carried out on a very large scale in one Kaiser Department, and its effects and...

Re: TIHCER June Zoom 2020
Thank you Dr. Felitti for your kind words and helpful attachments. Your paper is so important, especially in light of the military families I work with. Your words are inspiring and transformative: "We realized that asking , initially via an inert mechanism with later followup in the exam room, coupled with listening and implicitly accepting the person who had just shared his or her dark secrets, is a powerful form of doing ."

Emergency departments look inward to deepen practices that support traumatized patients
An interdisciplinary team of clinicians from Brigham and Women’s Hospital had a bold idea in 2017. They would completely change the way things worked in their hospital’s emergency department so that the care provided to their patients was infused with a trauma-informed approach. That means recognizing how widespread trauma is and using a myriad of techniques to mitigate its harmful effects among patients, providers and staff. The realization of just how widespread trauma is came to light in...
