A Story of Trauma, Resilience & Hope with Coach Beverly
Like many health care professionals, I live with the shadows of early childhood trauma. We all manage these painful childhood events in different ways and their impact may only be discovered as we move into adulthood or even later in life. Recognizing and acknowledging our trauma and the trauma of the people we serve is an important first step toward healing.
As diabetes specialists, our awareness of trauma and toxic stress can lead to providing more informed and compassionate care. As health care providers, we may misperceive a person’s no-show or negative attitude as a sign that they don’t care about their diabetes self-care or the health consequences. With some exploration, we may gain a better understanding of the shadows that are blocking their path forward.
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are common. At least two-thirds of people living in the U.S. have experienced one ACE and over 15% have experienced 4 or more.
Furthermore, a dose-response relationship exists: as the number of adverse experiences increases so does the risk of problems from childhood through adulthood.
These childhood traumas can lead to toxic stress which, over time, can change the biology of our body and increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and more.
People with elevated ACE scores are more likely to experience a variety of mental health issues, which is not surprising given their painful, confusing, and unsafe childhoods. Based on sound research by the CDC and Kaiser, they are also more likely to suffer from physical diseases, like heart attack and stroke, diabetes, and cancer. They are more likely to break bones and experience unintended pregnancies.
There is hope for healing. Diabetes specialists can make a difference. Through the use of screening tools and careful listening to the words and body language of the individuals we serve, we can start the movement toward healing and collaborative working relationships.
Join Coach Bev for an honest conversation on
The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Health
The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Health: A Personal Story of Resilience & Hope with Coach Beverly
Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are associated with an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and a variety of other health consequences for adults. This session reviews how diabetes care and education specialists can provide screening, assessment, and trauma-informed care to individuals who experienced ACEs and are living with toxic stress. We will explore strategies to address ACES and improve outcomes for individuals and communities. Throughout, we will focus on supporting self-care with a focus on recognizing and promoting resilience.
Topics include:
- Discuss the benefits of assessing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) in individuals with diabetes.
- State the relationship between ACE Scores and risk of future health complications.
- Describe a person-centered approach to fostering resilience and self-care for individuals with toxic stress.
- Identify two strategies to provide trauma-informed care in your work setting.
