Learn about the research and clinical application of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study.
“This study is one of the largest investigations ever conducted to assess associations between childhood maltreatment and later-life health and well-being. The study is a collaboration between the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) and Kaiser Permanente’s Health Appraisal Clinic in San Diego.” —Center for Youth Wellness
My guests were
Janine Greer, MA., Health Educator at the Center For Youth Wellness in San Francisco and Dr. Zea Malawa, Pediatrician at the Bayview Child Health Center in San Francisco.
Resources
“More than 17,000 Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) members undergoing a comprehensive physical examination chose to provide detailed information about their childhood experience of abuse, neglect, and family dysfunction. To date, more than 50 scientific articles have been published and more than100 conference and workshop presentations have been made.” —Center for Disease Control
“This community of practice uses trauma-informed, resilience-building practices to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and to change systems to stop traumatizing already traumatized people.”
The Center for Youth Wellness has set a goal of one million views to demonstrate the momentum behind the movement.
My gratitude to Vince Felitti, MD for his passionate and hard work. It’s about time that more people are benefiting from his groundbreaking research.
Dr. Felitti was working with people who were overweight, and he discovered that 55% of the people he surveyed reported to have suffered child sexual abuse. Take a listen to his story of how this research started:

Thank you to all who made this show possible, and to all of the parents who contributed to the meaningful experiences I had each week.
There are many factors that impact how you raise your children. Your style of parenting, your culture, your temperament, and the life circumstances you find yourself in. In this episode we were joined by guests to discuss the needs of parents and children. We heard from parents about how things are going in their homes, neighborhoods, and the state.

Based on stereotypes, people perceive boys as stronger and less vulnerable than girls. “Boys,”we say, “are tough!”But the truth is that boys are vulnerable, and they face some heightened health risks compared to girls. Three times more boys than girls are killed each day, and countless more are injured. Despite these risks to boys, parents are often less concerned about the safety of their sons than of their daughters. Join Nurse Rona and Dr. Will Courtenay, “the Men’s Doc” and author of Dying to Be Men, as they discuss how parents can raise boys to become healthy men.
