Addressing child health disparities: We made the case, we need a movement!renataschiavo
This presentations reviews recent studies and experiences on child health disparities, and provides insights and recommendations to advance child health equity. It was presented at the 2015 Health Equity Capacity Institute of the CDC Division of Community Health, Office of Health Equity.
The impact of child abuse and neglect is often discussed in terms of physical, psychological, behavioral, and societal consequences. In reality, however, it is impossible to separate the types of impacts. Physical consequences, such as damage to a child’s growing brain, can have psychological implications, such as cognitive delays or emotional difficulties.
This webinar was developed by Child Trends in 2015 for the Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) as a technical assistance product for use with OAH grant programs.
You have been tasked with orienting new registered nurses in the emergency department in your hospital about how to manage child abuse and neglect cases. The orientation should cover child abuse and neglect definitions, prevention, detection, intervention and treatment, reporting, and interdisciplinary resources.

Ironically, homelessness itself a kind of mental torture which automatically creates distress in a person's mind and bitterness about life. A person without having shelter feels uncomfortable; unsatisfied with his life that he cannot feed his family, even the state's policies are not fair enough to support homeless families. Here, in this paper, we discuss child homelessness which is a great threat to child health in terms of mental distress and academic performance (Vostanis, 1998). In a recent survey, there were 1.4 million children experienced homelessness worldwide, about 75% of children experienced homelessness by doubling-up with other families. On the other hand, 15% of children were in shelters, hotels/motels percentage calculated as 7%, and those were who didn't have shelter to live were 4%. The data has been collected from 2016-17 survey regarding measuring the child homelessness in all over the world according to which appropriate measures could be taken to ensure the provision of shelters, homes, education to homeless children effectively and efficiently. The data mentioned above is being reported from two sources, i.e. school districts required to report based on the number of homeless students they serve. In contrast, others belong to the consensus of federally funded homeless shelters and temporary housing programs conducted by the U.S. Department of Housing and urban development.

Furthermore, the most important thing noticed during this survey is that overall child homelessness affects the mental health of the children and their academic performance. They do not feel comfortable while studying with 13-14 other family members, unsatisfied mind creates mental trouble and become the reason of destruction in overall academic performance.

The Transtheoretical Model also called the Stages
of Change model,7 describes how such behavior

are trying to reach in order to help them. To promote
change, interventions must be provided that are
appropriate for the stage in the process that people
are in."
"Meet people where they are:
The guiding principle of “meeting people where
they are” means more than showing compassion

asks us to acknowledge that all people we meet are

In order to thrive over adult adversity or (ACEs: Adverse Childhood Experiences) whether personally or professionally, we must have compassion & unity across all of our life practice strategies. Too often, I have observed some colleagues & nonprofit agencies give "lip-service" support services combined with "marginal" uncompassionate efforts, which will always translate into "poor family & client outcomes".

ACEs into VICTORY
Childhood trauma can happen to anyone and persistent chronic childhood trauma can
negatively affect an individual’s health across his or her lifetime.
Therefore, as public system of care administrators and practitioners, research findings
indicate that we must deploy comprehensive multigenerational approaches that help
build resiliency throughout a child’s development.
2. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC), the Child & Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative (CAHMI) and
others have released significant studies and findings concerning “Adverse Childhood
Experiences or ACEs”.
The SAMHSA pyramid chart embedded in my blog and other similar CDC pyramid
charts represent a conceptual framework in understanding the implications and
negative lifetime impacts for the ACEs study.
Current research findings indicate that nearly half of our children under the age of 18
living in the United States have experienced at least “1” ACE and almost 20% of US
children under 18 have experienced more than “2” ACEs.
Most of the studies point to the fact that as the number of Adverse Childhood
Experiences (ACEs) increase for a child, so will high-risk negative health outcomes
increase across the individual’s lifespan and may even lead to early death.
Adverse Childhood Experiences refers to a range of trauma and chronic stress which
includes some of the following: child living with a parent /primary caregiver’s substance
use disorders, living in a domestic violence environment, witnessing neighborhood
violence, mother treated violently, being a victim of physical/emotional/sexual abuse,
physical neglect, death of a parent/caregiver, and several others.
As I have stated in my earlier blog where I shared my lived experience of having between
4 to 5 Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) that was persistent and toxic but I had an
amazing caring nurturing mother who reached out for family supportive services that
help strengthen my resiliency coping skills and reinforced positive decision-making
skills which empowered me to thrive and excel throughout my life:
https://importanceoffamilysupportservices.quora.com/WHY-DOES-FAMILY-
SUPPORT-MATTER
Experiencing multiple ongoing chronic persistent stress and toxic stress can impact a
child’s developing brain which means we must work collectively and collaboratively
across multiple systems, providers and generationally if we want our future children to
grow up to become stable healthy productive adults. Please read “A National Agenda
to Address Adverse Childhood Experiences” at http://www.cahmi.org/wp-
content/uploads/2017/10/aces_agenda.pdf
In closing, as a Content and Context Expert (as professional and as a lived experience
of 4+ACEs) and I went on to become the 1st person in my family to graduate from high
school, college and obtaining my Master of Arts degree in Human Services, that is why I
entitled this short blog” ACEs into VICTORY”.
