Collaborative Care

After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Describe adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
  2. Discuss the assessment of ACEs.
  3. Identify ways ACEs can inform treatment.

Program Abstract:
Adverse Childhood experiences impact over 67% of Americans, yet it is estimated that less than 15% of American Healthcare providers assess for ACEs despite the significant health impact that ACEs can have on a person’s treatment. This presentation will review ACEs, there impact on health, and the ACEs assessment measure. Presenters will share ACEs data collected by the CC, how this data is used in treatment, and how it will inform future services.
