Adverse Childhood Experiences:
Implications for Policymakers and
Practitioners
David Murphey, Ph.D.,
research fellow and DataBank director at Child Trends, will review the science
of childhood trauma and the prevalence of childhood experiences that can
create it. Trauma, or toxic stress, can have lasting, harmful effects on
multiple body systems, affecting lifetime health and well-being. Drawing on
recently released data collected nationwide, the presentation will highlight
implications for those who work with children and families, or on their behalf.
Learning objectives:
- Identify some of
the adverse childhood experiences (“ACEs”) that can create toxic stress.
- Understand the
overall prevalence of ACEs, as well as how that varies according to type of
ACE, region of the country, and race/Hispanic origin.
- Identify some
strategies that can reduce the negative impacts of ACEs
