Hosted by writers Emma Atkinson and Jordyn Reiland, RadioEd is a triweekly podcast created by the DU Newsroom that taps into the University of Denver's deep pool of bright brains to explore the most compelling and interesting research coming out of DU. See below for a transcript of this episode. This week, production assistant and DU graduate student Madeleine Lebovic steps in to host.  Show Notes When Hollywood paints a picture of childhood, it's often one of nostalgia-tinged wonder. Playing outside, moments of carefree innocence and the highs and lows of the adventure of self-discovery.   But this is not the childhood that everyone experiences. For many, childhood was a place of uncertainty and fear. And when those kids grow up to become parents, those hard realities can impact their own parenting. How can we break those cycles of intergenerational trauma? This week on RadioEd, Madeleine Lebovic chats with Associate Professor of Clinical Child Psychology Angela Narayan about the surprising science behind reflecting on positive childhood experiences – and how it can help parents counter childhood adversity.  Angela Narayan, PhD, LP, is an Associate Professor in the Clinical Child Psychology PhD Program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Denver (DU). She is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She received her PhD in Clinical Child Psychology from the Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota and completed a predoctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry and Child Trauma Research Program at UCSF. Narayan directs a program of research that examines how childhood adversity and positive childhood experiences have enduring effects on development across adolescence, adulthood and parenthood. She is particularly interested in understanding intergenerational pathways of adversity, psychopathology, and resilience in populations with diverse backgrounds.  Narayan is a licensed clinical psychologist in Colorado and a clinical supervisor in the Center for Child and Family Psychology (CCFP) in the DU Department of Psychology. Her expertise is in trauma-informed therapies (e.g., Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) and relationship-based and parent-focused treatments (e.g., Parent Management Training, Interpersonal Psychotherapy). She also directs the DU Department of Psychology's PROTECT Lab where researchers study the intergenerational transmission of risk and resilience across families and generations. Links to different versions of the Benevolent Childhood Experiences scale, used to assess positive experiences in childhood, can be found under instruments. More Information: Positive childhood experiences predict less psychopathology and stress in pregnant women with childhood adversity: A pilot study of the benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) scale by Angela Narayan et al. A multisystem, dimensional interplay of assets versus adversities: Revised benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) in the context of childhood maltreatment, threat, and deprivation by Angela Narayan et al.  Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many of the Leading Causes of Death in Adults: The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study by Vincent J Felitti, MD, FACP et al.  Information on ACEs from the CDC 

One of the best things about my podcast is all of the wonderful people doing incredible things that it's brought into my life.

Join us today to learn about the power of positive childhood experiences with Dr. Robert Sege, the director of the HOPE National Resource Center at Tufts Medical Center. He holds a MD degree from Harvard Medical School and a PhD degree in biology from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.In this episode, we cover:What are some of the benefits to kids from having positive childhood experiences?You have identified four building blocks for positive childhood experiences. What are they and give us specific examples of what parents and caregivers can do in each block to promote these experiences? How do these positive childhood experiences differ by age of the child? Can positive childhood experiences mitigate the impact of adverse childhood experiences? How can we help our kids be more resilient?Are all stress and negative experiences in childhood bad for our kids?Are there particular ages where kids are more receptive to the healing impact of positive childhood experiences?Our audience includes foster, adoptive, and kinship parents. While adoptive parents have a lifetime with the kids (and kinship caregivers may also have the same), foster parents are usually a temporary landing place for a child while their parents work on getting them back. How much impact can you have if you only have the child for a few months or a year?Resources:HOPE National Resource Center Support the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Positive childhood experiences (PCEs) are foundational to a child's healthy development and well-being.  Listen as Dr. Elizabeth Hisle-Gorman and Dr. Binny Chokshi discuss promoting PCEs and how the Healthy Outcomes From Positive Experiences (HOPE) model supports strengthening families.   This podcast is made possible by generous funding from the Ramstein Officers' Spouses' Club. To learn more, visit  https://www.ramsteinosc.org/.   Audio mixing by Concentus Media, Inc., Temple, Texas.   Show Notes: Resources:   MCEC Global Training Summit Don't miss Dr. Hisle-Gorman and Dr. Chokshi's presentation at the Global Training Summit. Virtual Session, Thursday, August 1, 2024 Promoting Positive Childhood Experiences in Military Connected Children and Youth Promoting healthy child development necessitates a focus on positive childhood experiences (PCEs).  Though military life can provide children with a bounty of resources and opportunities, military children also routinely experiences the stressors associated with military life, such as parental separation and frequent moves.  Promoting PCEs in military children can help to buffer the impact of the unique challenges for military connected children and adolescents and can support their academic and future success.  This interactive workshop will first review the connection between adversity, positivity, and wellbeing, then discuss the four building blocks of the Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE) model, and conclude with an opportunity for participants to discuss PCEs as they relate to military children, including a discussion of relevant community and advocacy organizations, whose programs promote PCEs in military children and adolescents. https://www.militarychild.org/event/gts/gts-register/   Healthy Outcomes From Positive Experiences (HOPE) https://positiveexperience.org/   Hidden Heroes- Elizabeth Dole Foundation https://hiddenheroes.org/   Operation Purple Camp- National Military Family Association https://www.militaryfamily.org/programs/operation-purple/operation-purple-camp/   The Military Child Well-being Toolkit https://www.militarychild.org/resource/wellbeing-toolkit/   Military OneSource https://www.militaryonesource.mil/non-medical-counseling/   Bio: Dr. Hisle-Gorman is Director of the Military Family Research Division and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics. She began her career as a social worker working in neighborhood development efforts in Washington, DC to support and strengthen families to prevent family violence and overcome hardship. However, a move to a military town with her active-duty military spouse, re-focused her on work with military families. She served as a Child Protective Services officer in Onslow County, North Carolina and worked extensively with military families. After completing her Ph.D. in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Dr. Hisle-Gorman taught and worked in community development and was the senior author on one of the first articles to document the clinical effects of military deployment on children. She subsequently moved to USUHS to expand its research portfolio exploring the effects of military life on children. Her research interests are focused the impact of past military deployment on military children, effects of parental injury and family violence on pediatric health and mental health, and healthcare usage trends in military pediatrics. However, she has also worked on projects examining autism in children, indicators of immunization completion, neonatal health, care for transgender individuals, healthcare disparities, and the effects of medications on children. Dr. Hisle-Gorman has significant experience working with the Military Health System Data Repository and conducting retrospective research studies about military-connected children using the MDR. Dr. Hisle-Gorman most enjoys mentoring medical students, residents, and junior faculty on research projects, and teaching them the research process on an individual basis.   Dr. Binny Chokshi is a general pediatrician, with a focus on adolescents and young adults. Dr. Chokshi's research and education interests are focused on understanding the impact of early life stressors on health across the life course. To mitigate the effects of trauma and stress on children, Dr. Chokshi advocates for a trauma-informed approach to healthcare. She has developed web-based e-modules to train outpatient pediatricians in responding to childhood adversity with a trauma-informed care approach and has also trained medical students and residents at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. In a prior role at Children's National Hospital, she also worked with hospital leadership to develop hospital wide trauma-informed practices. In her current role at USUHS, Dr. Chokshi examines how military specific factors may impact child and and family health, with a current focus on how social determinants of health such as food security impact military child health.  Dr. Chokshi is also passionate on promoting positive childhood experiences, to foster healthy development in children and counter the impacts of stressful experiences.  Dr. Chokshi has a vested interest in medical education and completed Masters in Education at the George Washington University School of Education and Human Development. On a national level, Dr. Chokshi serves on the Expert Leadership Team for the American Academy of Pediatrics project “Building Capacity for Trauma-Informed Pediatric Care”. 

Research has found that there is credibility to the term mind-body connection. There is a clear link between our thoughts, feelings, emotions and our physical body. At this point, should we, as a society, stop separating mental health and physical health? Are they not one in the same? Please join us this week as our guest, PACEs Connection's very own Dr. Donielle Prince, discusses the mind-body connection with our host Ingrid Cockhren. Through contributing to and coordinating the PACEs Connection Creating Resilient Communities Accelerator, Donielle will continue PACEs Connection's mission to support the growth of both statewide and local community resilience initiatives. Donielle brings to this work over 20 years' experience as a program evaluator, focused on education, community based youth programming, mental health, and its intersections. Donielle's core expertise is in understanding those elements of programming and initiatives that present challenges, as well as those that yield the potential for change. Donielle's signature evaluation projects included youth development studies, trauma informed training evaluations, and educational equity focused program and curriculum evaluations. Donielle's experience has taught her that evaluation research is above all a communication tool- the ability to examine a program and then organize those findings, a process which helps to bring clarity to a program mission. A well crafted mission then becomes a platform from which to create and sustain tangible change. In the community, Donielle's experience with research, policy and reform is reflected in her deep commitment to advocating for social justice. This work has included youth mentoring, including first-time offending juveniles and foster youth; as well as community based organizing against state violence, educational inequity, and lack of access to mental health supports, particularly for members of marginalized communities- similar to the community where she was raised, in East Palo Alto, CA, located in the “Silicon Valley”. Currently, Donielle resides in Sacramento, CA. Donielle has studied education, counseling psychology and human development, and race and racism, earning her B.A. at Wellesley College (1995), her MS. Ed. at the University of Pennsylvania (1996), and her Ph.D. at Stanford University (2006).

Are Your Kids Being Left Behind in the Literacy Race? Find Out How Equitable Access to Reading Can Change the Game! Every child deserves a fair start in life, but the stark reality is that not every youngster is on an even playing field when it comes to early literacy. In this week's episode of Pediatric Meltdown, we dive into the revolutionary work of Reach Out and Read, a program determined to break down barriers and bring equitable access to reading materials to children across the nation. It's clear that the mission of Reach Out and Read reaches far beyond the pages of the books they distribute. Their dedication to fostering early literacy development and relational health within communities—especially those that are under-resourced and underserved—speaks volumes about their commitment to societal change. Lia's discussion with Marty has highlighted the integrative approach of the program, merging healthcare visits with moments that fortify the bonds between parents and children. It is a poignant reminder that access to books is not a luxury, but a fundamental right that nurtures the mind and the heart. In a world where disparities define the future of so many young lives, Reach Out and Read serves as a beacon of hope, guiding families towards a horizon where every child's potential can be reached. Let's stand with them, as they turn the page on illiteracy and inequity, ensuring that no child is left behind in the vital narrative of their own education.

As we continue to reflect on Mental Health Awareness month, please enjoy this encore episode with special guest, and former PACEs Connection team member, Dr. Donielle Prince. Research has found that there is credibility to the term mind-body connection. There is a clear link between our thoughts, feelings, emotions and our physical body. At this point, should we, as a society, stop separating mental health and physical health? Are they not one in the same? Please join us this week as our guest, PACEs Connection's very own Dr. Donielle Prince, discusses the mind-body connection with our host Ingrid Cockhren. Through contributing to and coordinating the 2023 PACEs Connection Creating Resilient Communities Accelerator, Donielle has continued PACEs Connection's mission to support the growth of both statewide and local community resilience initiatives. Donielle brings to this work over 20 years' experience as a program evaluator, focused on education, community based youth programming, mental health, and its intersections. Donielle's core expertise is in understanding those elements of programming and initiatives that present challenges, as well as those that yield the potential for change. Donielle's signature evaluation projects included youth development studies, trauma informed training evaluations, and educational equity focused program and curriculum evaluations. Donielle's experience has taught her that evaluation research is above all a communication tool- the ability to examine a program and then organize those findings, a process which helps to bring clarity to a program mission. A well crafted mission then becomes a platform from which to create and sustain tangible change. In the community, Donielle's experience with research, policy and reform is reflected in her deep commitment to advocating for social justice. This work has included youth mentoring, including first-time offending juveniles and foster youth; as well as community based organizing against state violence, educational inequity, and lack of access to mental health supports, particularly for members of marginalized communities- similar to the community where she was raised, in East Palo Alto, CA, located in the “Silicon Valley”. Currently, Donielle resides in Sacramento, CA. Donielle has studied education, counseling psychology and human development, and race and racism, earning her B.A. at Wellesley College (1995), her MS. Ed. at the University of Pennsylvania (1996), and her Ph.D. at Stanford University (2006).

Our CASA program has not only focused on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), but we have equally focused on Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs). Various research and study has been done over the years that highlights PCEs, what they are, how they're defined, and how many PCEs there are in the world. Connectivity plays such an important part of PCEs. We dove into this important subject on this episode.

Research has found that there is credibility to the term mind-body connection. There is a clear link between our thoughts, feelings, emotions and our physical body. At this point, should we, as a society, stop separating mental health and physical health? Are they not one in the same? Please join us this week as our guest, PACEs Connection's very own Dr. Donielle Prince, discusses the mind-body connection with our host Ingrid Cockhren. Through contributing to and coordinating the PACEs Connection Creating Resilient Communities Accelerator, Donielle will continue PACEs Connection's mission to support the growth of both statewide and local community resilience initiatives. Donielle brings to this work over 20 years' experience as a program evaluator, focused on education, community based youth programming, mental health, and its intersections.

Show Notes: A bionic pancreas could solve one of the biggest challenges of diabetes | MIT Technology Review (01:02) In a recent trial, a bionic pancreas that automatically delivers insulin proved more effective than pumps or injections at lowering blood glucose levels in people with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition that causes a person's level of glucose, or sugar, to become too high because the pancreas can't produce enough insulin Needs to be monitored and requires insulin intake every day. But maybe this bionic pancreas, which is a credit card-sized device called an iLet, could alleviate that constant monitoring It monitors a person's levels around the clock and automatically delivers insulin when needed through a tiny cannula, a thin tube inserted into the body.  Worn constantly, generally on the abdomen. Determines all insulin doses based on the user's weight, and the user can't adjust the doses.  A Harvard Medical School team has submitted its findings from the study to the FDA in the hopes of eventually bringing the product to market in the US.  Provided 219 people with type 1 diabetes who had used insulin for at least a year with a bionic pancreas device for 13 weeks.  Compared their blood sugar levels with those of 107 diabetic people who used other insulin delivery methods The blood sugar levels of the bionic pancreas group fell from 7.9% to 7.3%, while the standard care group's levels remained steady at 7.7%.  Goal according to the American Diabetes Association recommends a goal of less than 7.0% Duane Mellor, the lead for nutrition and evidence-based medicine at Aston Medical School, in Birmingham, UK, who was not involved in the study, provided a pro and con for this device: “Being able to take carbohydrate counting out of the equation is a really big advantage, because it's a burden … On the flip side, they have to relinquish control [of determining the insulin dose], which could be difficult for people who've had diabetes for a long time.” The aim of the project is to democratize good glucose control, says Steven Russell, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, who led the study: “There are plenty of people who are struggling right now because they don't have the right tools, and I think the iLet could help a lot of them have much better glucose control.” Positive Childhood Experiences of Blue Spaces Linked to Better Adult Well-Being |  Neuroscience News (09:37) A new study on blue spaces from data pulled from the BlueHealth International Survey (BIS) including 18 countries, showcases the benefits 15,000 people across 14 European Countries and 4 other non-European countries/regions Adults with better mental health are more likely to report having spent time playing in and around coastal and inland waters, such as rivers and lakes. Mounting evidence shows that spending time in and around green spaces such as parks and woodlands in adulthood is associated with stress reduction and better mental health. But not much info about blue spaces Respondents between the ages of 0-16 were asked to recall their blue space experiences how local they were,  how often they visited them,  how comfortable their parents/guardians were with them playing in these settings,  They found that individuals who recalled more childhood blue space experiences tended to place greater intrinsic value on natural settings in general, and to visit them more often as adults. Associated to better mental wellbeing in adulthood Valeria Vitale, Lead author and PhD Candidate at Sapienza University of Rome, talks on the findings:  “In the context of an increasingly technological and industrialized world, it's important to understand how childhood nature experiences relate to wellbeing in later life… Our findings suggest that building familiarity and confidence in and around blue spaces during childhood may stimulate an inherent joy of nature and encourage people to seek out recreational nature experiences, with beneficial consequences for adult mental health.” Scientists detect dementia signs as early as nine years ahead of diagnosis | MedicalXpress (15:14) Researchers from the University of Cambridge have shown that it is possible to spot signs of brain impairment in patients as early as nine years before they receive a dementia-related diagnosis. Found impairment in several areas, such as problem solving and number recall The findings raise the possibility that in the future, at-risk patients could be screened to help select those who would benefit from interventions. Maybe reduce their risk of developing one of the conditions, Or could help identify patients suitable for recruitment to clinical trials for new treatments. The issue with treatment for neurological disease is because these conditions are often only diagnosed once symptoms appear, whereas the underlying neurodegeneration may have begun years—even decades—earlier.  May be too late in the disease process to alter its course. UK Biobank collected data from a battery of tests including problem solving, memory, reaction times and grip strength, as well as data on weight loss and gain and on the number of falls. UK Biobank is a biomedical database and research resource containing anonymized genetic, lifestyle and health information from half a million UK participants aged 40-69. Allows for the ability to go back at previous medical history to see if there were signs of neurodegeneration First author Nol Swaddiwudhipong, a junior doctor at the University of Cambridge, said,  "When we looked back at patients' histories, it became clear that they were showing some cognitive impairment several years before their symptoms became obvious enough to prompt a diagnosis. The impairments were often subtle, but across a number of aspects of cognition … This is a step towards us being able to screen people who are at greatest risk—for example, people over 50 or those who have high blood pressure or do not do enough exercise—and intervene at an earlier stage to help them reduce their risk." Offshore wind turbine prototype breaks world record; 359 megawatt-hours within 24 hours | Interesting Engineering (20:10) One of the world's biggest wind turbines has recorded a remarkable renewable energy production total, reining in a massive 359 megawatt-hours within 24 hours. Enough energy to power around 18,000 households yearly Siemens Gamesa, a Spanish-German wind engineering company that manufactures wind turbines for onshore and offshore services, noted that their SG 14-222 DD has broken the record for most power produced by a single turbine in one day. SG 14-222 DD now equals the 14-MW nominal capacity of GE's biggest Haliade-X turbines and only just trailing behind the giant 15-MW Vestas rigs and the world's outright offshore champion, the "monstrous" MingYang 16 MW. The turbine achieved the milestone just ten months after it produced its first electricity and delivered it to the grid at the test center in Østerild, Denmark. Turbine Specs: 14 megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbine with a capacity of up to 15 MW with the "Power Boost" 728 feet (222-meter) diameter rotor  354-feet-long (108-meter-long) B108 blades which can be recycled,  A swept area of 419,792 square feet (39,000 square meters). The company wrote the following on the turbine: “With every new generation of our offshore direct drive turbine technology – which uses fewer moving parts than geared turbines – component improvements have enabled greater performance while maintaining reliability. We are able to reduce the time to market of the SG 14-222 DD thanks to standardized processes and a fully developed supply chain. Enabling high-volume production at low risk. The serial production is planned for 2024.” Stanford exoskeleton breaks out of the lab to offer 30-lb walking boost | New Atlas (29:32) Scientists at Stanford University have been working on an ankle exoskeleton designed to make walking easier. View to one day helping people with impaired mobility  first untethered version for use beyond the lab Their ankle exoskeleton prototype is adjustable in the level of assistance with the max offering a boost akin to taking off a 30-lb (13-kg) backpack. In research published last year, the team demonstrated a version of the device that could increase a wearer's walking speed by around 40%. Previous iterations of the ankle exoskeletons involved complicated laboratory setups with wires, treadmills and external motors. Important for gathering motion data and rapidly testing and fine-tuning the systems to offer the optimal level of assistance The new exoskeleton is a motorized boot that applies torque at the ankle, in doing so performing some of the function of the calf muscle, helping the user push off with each step. Sensors are built into the boot to monitor movement  Uses machine learning algorithms to adapt the level of assistance based on the way the person walks. Takes about an hour of walking for the exoskeleton to become accustomed to the user Team leader Steve Collins, discusses the speed boost they saw: “Optimized assistance allowed people to walk 9% faster with 17% less energy expended per distance traveled, compared to walking in normal shoes … These are the largest improvements in the speed and energy of economy walking of any exoskeleton to date. In direct comparisons on a treadmill, our exoskeleton provides about twice the reduction in effort of previous devices.” The team is now looking to test it out on older adults and disabled subjects, and are also working on versions that improve balance and joint pain. Team member Patrick Slade, on this point said: “I believe that over the next decade we'll see these ideas of personalizing assistance and effective portable exoskeletons help many people overcome mobility challenges or maintain their ability to live active, independent, and meaningful lives.”

A listener asked: "I wonder how much of the opposite is also true. We talk a lot about the legacy of faith and other virtues and attributes passed down to us from our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. What does the science say about what gets passed on to following generations (for good or bad) before childhood events can have an impact?  In the episode, I try to answer this question. Please feel free to email me with any questions you might have. My email: rtosguthorpe@gmail.com

Today, Elizabeth Crouch, PhD, director of the Rural and Minority Health Research Center, shares her insights on rural adverse and positive childhood experiences based on her research. The transcript and a list of resources and organizations mentioned in the episode can be found at https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/podcast/aces-jul-2022. Exploring Rural Health is an RHIhub podcast.

Dr. Kelly McDermott joins the show for a spirited conversation on the upstream factors which influence our health and impact our society. With her wealth of knowledge about research, policy and health behaviors, Kelly helps us make connections between chronic disease, Adverse and Positive Childhood Experiences, rites of passage, and stress. Along the way we learn when Kelly's professional trajectory aligned with her personal passions for yoga and meditation, she found herself researching things like the impact of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Body Awareness interventions on Veterans with PTSD. These early windows into the power of behavior rather than drugs to improve health fostered her desire to seek out answers to important questions like what interventions could impact health outcomes before they became chronic disease? And where does the capacity to have an integrated body awareness get established? In Turning Our Gaze Upstream, we not only discover the roots that led Dr. McDermott into her current research on Rites of Passage, we find there is a certain gift and power the emerges when someone like Kelly chooses to translate that calling into the language of data and policy. So consider yourself invited to listen into this energetic and important conversation with Jef Szi and Dr. McDermott as they look at the profound interactions between stress, behavior and health in our own lives but also in how we steward the next generations.

Join me and my experts, Kimmy Young and Rachel Hanson, to discuss adverse and positive childhood experiences. We will learn what they are, how they start, and what transpires into young adulthood. We will also speak to the education perspective in K-12 and higher education, and what we see in our classrooms. We will learn how we can help our communities and our schools to address these issues. Fascinating and very informative conversations! Join me. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

They can beat up the tree, they can run around the tree, they can yell at the tree, whatever it is that they need to do. And that's one of my favorite coping skills that I see with my kiddos because it gives them a place where, maybe they're not ready to talk to an adult or they're not ready to talk to someone about what they've been through but they know that tree isn't going to tell someone else.9:56: One [coping skill] we use a lot is a positive outlook. Higher ACE scores tend to have very negative outlooks on life. On the way to daycare, my husband will have the kids say “good morning, it's a beautiful day”. They started saying that to the cows, to trees, whatever they see on the way to daycare.14:04: Like I said, it takes one caring adult to make all the difference. That could be a teacher that's just willing to say “hey, let me help you on that homework.” You don't know what's going on in these kiddos' households, so having just somebody that's willing to step up and say “hey, I got you. Let me help you with this.” 15:34: There are so many different resources out there right now. “Self care” is such a buzz word right now. We're coming out of a pandemic, we've all been trapped in our houses with 4 kids and trying not to lose our minds and trying to work from home, we've all got stuff going on. We tried Frozen-themed yoga. It's laugh therapy mixed in with yoga and it's fantastic. Just finding something that you like to do.

Bringing HOPE to parents, families and communities Thursday May 20 at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm UK / 17h France Dr. Andrea will bring to light the new data that examines the impact of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) on children and adults. Researchers have found that there are supportive experiences that can buffer children from the effects of childhood adversity and promote healthy development. If you have a lot of adversity and a lot of positive childhood experiences, you are less likely to suffer the consequences of ACEs. However if you have no positive childhood experiences and few ACEs, the consequences of the ACEs are more likely to appear. In this live Masterclass Dr. Andrea will share what the research says we can do now to help the children living with family dysfunction and trauma and what we can do to ‘reparent' ourselves if we had high ACEs without a compassionate, sensitive buffer in the form of a trusted adult relationship during our childhood.
