Screening for ACEs: The Missing Link in Fostering Early Childhood Development

Monday, August 23, 2021

7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join us for an informative discussion with Renee Wachtel, MD, FAAP on the ACEs Aware Mission, and the difference between ACEs, Stress, Toxic Stress, Trauma, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

We will review the science behind ACEs, including allostatic load and toxic stress, and its relationship to health and early childhood development. In addition to this, we will foster understanding on the role of resilience in counteracting the impact of ACEs. Finally, we will help pediatricians develop strategies that promote prevention and early intervention to ameliorate the impact of ACES on early life.
