Curious about California moving forward on ACEs screening, and preventing and mitigating toxic stress in California residents?
Beginning January 1, 2020, California will begin reimbursing Medi-Cal providers for their participation in this new statewide effort known as the ACEs Aware Initiative. California Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke Harris in partnership with the Department of Health Care Services has launched the ACEs Aware website, which includes:
- Fact sheets about ACEs Aware, a FAQ, and the science of ACEs and toxic stress.
- A 'Treat' section, which includes Clinical Assessment & Treatment Planning
- A section on clinical workflow and algorithm developed by the Clinical Advisory Committee.
- A compilation of resources, from the American Academy of Pediatrics and others.
Stay tuned for a release of a recording of the Dec 4th webinar about the ACEs Aware initiative, co-hosted by California Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke Harris and Department of Health Care Services Medical Director, Dr. Karen Mark. We'll post it here once it is available.
