From ACEs to early relational health: Implications for clinical practice

Author: PedsCases Team September 11, 2024 Duration: 17:19

This podcast reviews the topics covered in the CPS position statement about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), early relational health, and their implications for clinical practice. Listeners will learn about ACE and their impacts on health, utilizing early relational health as an avenue to protect against the negative effects of ACEs, and how clinicians can work with families to promote early relational health and optimize parenting for healthy child development. It was written by Andrea Moir, a third-year medical student at the University of British Columbia and Dr. Mel Lewis, a professor in the Department of Peds and the Chief Wellbeing Officer in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta.
