CRM 2309 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, Autonomic Nervous System, Neuroplasticity
Document Summary
Background the work of clinicians and other service providers who design and implement programs for vulnerable populations has been greatly enhanced by the incorporation of two building blocks of understanding: kaiser permanente"s (1998) Adverse childhood experiences study (ace) and the growing use and refinement of a values-based orientation to individuals that draws upon ace findings called trauma- The ace study and tic have generated important strides in helping service providers as well as clients better understand the impact of distressing and traumatic events on a wide range of health indicators and behaviors. Methods the paper presents a rationale for expanding tic to include key neuroscience concepts that can contribute to intake and evaluation processes and skills-based interventions. The intent is translational science that describes the movement of science information into social services and then expands that science from enriched information to concrete skills-based action.
