ALERT - The health and safety of our learners is of the utmost importance to us. We are closely monitoring the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. After much consideration and with circumstances changing so rapidly, Charlotte AHEC has decided to offer this program as a Live-Stream Webinar. We are fully committed to ensuring that our attendees, faculty and staff remain safe and well.
Research findings from the Kaiser-CDC Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study have greatly influenced our understanding of childhood adversity as a social determinant of health. As social awareness of the problem has increased, so too has interest in effective clinical and policy responses to ACEs. However, as an observational epidemiological study, the ACEs research provides strong evidence about the damaging health impacts of ACEs but little guidance on how to prevent and intervene. Therefore, new research is needed to translate the ACEs research into policy and practice, particularly in the health care system. This workshop will provide an overview of what we know and do not know from the ACEs research and review the current evidence regarding promising and evidence-based interventions to respond to ACEs. Both topics will describe national evidence but specifically highlight evidence and examples from North Carolina.
