Trauma Informed Care Episode 2

Lori Brown LISW-S, LICDC and Jennifer Schwirian LISW-S are back. This week on Rotations we continue ou r discussion about Trauma Informed Care. ACES is used as a predictive tool for future health issues. It is not a tool to identify mental or behavioral health problems and it was not designed to identify people who are somehow damaged. It is a tool that allows clinicians to help people understand what their long-term health risks may be. ACES is not a tool to look at social-economic status of childhood. We also discuss a little of the history of ACES and how Dr. Felliti moved from bariatric treatment and patients who dropped out of his program to identifying childhood trauma and correlating it with the propensity of overweight patients to leave bariatric treatment. It’s a good illustration of how humans are an interconnected system of mind, body and spirit and that injury in one system can reflect itself in problems in one of the other systems. It’s also a very curious story about the confirmation bias inherent in medicine; something that can create a protective conservative position or actually interfere with the progress of medical science. It also gets into the very prevalent issue of childhood sexual trauma and the hidden nature of child abuse and its potential to harm its victims well into adulthood. Soooooo, in this second episode we continue to discussion and talk about resiliency and how an understanding of ACES can help primary care physicians better understand their patients and how to guide them in their care.
