January 02, 2023 ACEs and Resilience with Dr. Andi Clements for Moms on Mondays
On today's episode, Dr. Karen Schetzina sits down with Dr. Andi Clements to discuss ACEs and Resilience.
Northeast Tennessee ACEs Connection:
"Today, the causes of trauma—sexual abuse, violence in families and neighborhoods are matters of public concern. A movement for trauma-informed care has emerged to ensure that trauma is recognized and treated and that survivors are not re-victimized when they seek care. Complementing these changes, we are working to develop programs to promote healthy development of children and healthy behaviors in families, schools and communities that reduce the likelihood of trauma. It is important to each of us that work on ACEs science continue to grow in our region and that ongoing support be provided to our many community partners in their trauma informed journey. We've enlisted the help of Bristol's Promise/Bristol Connect, the trauma informed system of care in Bristol, which has kindly agreed to help facilitate continued conversations of NE TN ACEs Connection on a bi-monthly basis at least for the time being. We will also be inviting others across Northeast Tennessee to join. This will enable NE TN ACEs Connection to truly be a region-wide system of care. Since meetings are currently held virtually this will enable anyone to join." - https://www.etsu.edu/institute/strong-brain/tic_coalition.php
