A Trauma-Informed Future

Beyond Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) with Dr. Amy King

Katie Kurtz Season 4 Episode 35

We can't talk about trauma without talking about adverse childhood experiences or ACEs . It's a very popular study that was done almost 20 years ago and it's often a cornerstone of discussion around trauma and trauma-informed care. But how much is the ACE study benefitting us? And what about going beyond adverse childhood experiences and looking at adverse community environments as well as promoting protective factors and resilience? On today's episode of A Trauma-Informed Future podcast, host Katie Kurtz is in conversation with psychologist and author, Dr. Amy King.   Join them on a thought-provoking journey exploring the pressing need for a shift in how we handle childhood adversity and resilience. Dr. King will decipher the complexities of ACE questionnaires, the critical role of nurturing relationships in early childhood, and how to integrate trauma-informed and resilience-focused care into our health systems.
