The Center for Youth Wellness (CYW) announced today it is partnering with two leading U.S. health systems in the Southeast to launch a screening program on childhood adversity.
CYW's National Pediatric Practice Community (NPPC) has done on-site training at the headquarters of Atrium Health and Novant Health in Charlotte, N.C., in preparation for trauma screening at six pediatric clinics across the city.
The Charlotte-based health systems' goal is to mitigate the lifelong health impact of exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which includes abuse, neglect, and separation from a parent or caregiver.
