Promoting Child & Family Health and Wellbeing: The Critical Need for Pediatricians to Address Adverse Childhood Experiences

Cassie Yackley, Psy.D., PLLC - Licensed Psychologist

Given the prevalence of child trauma, and the well-documented neurobiological sequelae of such adversities, childhood maltreatment and household dysfunction are a public health problem that must be addressed with urgency.  In order to identify and effectively intervene with childhood maltreatment, multigenerational forms of trauma, and the enduring impact of ACEs, it will truly take a community and pediatricians will need to play a critical role.  Trauma-informed pediatricians understand the value of inquiring about adverse experiences and appreciate the need for diagnostic considerations to be viewed through the "trauma lens."  They can provide children, caregivers, and other professionals psychoeducational resources to support post-traumatic growth, including referrals to available evidence-based treatments.  Participants will learn about the "Trauma-Responsive Framework" methodology as an effective strategy for making-sense of traumatic experiences with patients and for understanding how work with traumatized families inherently affects pediatricians.
