In this episode of the podcast we explore Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's).  This episode provides a broad introduction to the topic. We start with a definition of what ACE's are. This draws heavily on the work of  Felitti and colleagues (1998) who devised the Adverse Childhood Experience's questionnaire. We go on to explore global prevalence rates  of ACE's and the impact that having a higher amount of ACE's has on mental. physical and social wellbeing. Potential explanations for this are explored as well as applications to the clinical context. We hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the Here for You podcast. A podcast dedicated to everything psychological. In the first episode we explore the concept of Vicarious Trauma. This describes the trauma that can occur when working with people who have experienced trauma. We will talk through what this concept is (and what it is not), how this may present and how it may be prevented. We hope you enjoy!
