Aniela, while these resources are not specific to dual eligibles, there could be some useful nuggets (there is a webinar on Monday, June 22, link included below):

I don't have any research, but in my clinical practice, I find that trauma informed EMDR Therapy is helpful to ACE survivors of all ages. We work with childhood trauma issues, and attitudes toward oneself and health, pain reduction, trauma associated with surgery, ER treatment, etc.

It would be really useful if there was continuity from a high ACEs score to a programme that was designed specifically to build appropriate resilience and counter measures for adults for those ACEs. I'm not talking PTS healing in general, I'm looking for ACEs continuity. 

If you come across any such work in your search, please let me know. 

Good luck. Take care - peope need you. Brian
