Dr. Roy Wade, a pediatrician from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, specializes in the connection between adverse childhood experiences and urban issues such as poverty, violence and health problems. This presentation was made during our community conversation on urban ACES and trauma informed care in Milwaukee.
Adolescent brain development involves significant changes in the prefrontal cortex and limbic system that can increase risk-taking behaviors. During adolescence, the prefrontal cortex, which regulates judgment and impulse control, is still developing while the limbic system, which governs emotion and reward-seeking, is fully developed. This can leave teens more prone to emotional behaviors and sensation-seeking. Delaying drug use onset can reduce the likelihood of addiction, as the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until the mid-20s. Engaging adolescents in treatment requires understanding their developmental stage and how substance use can arrest maturation.
This document provides an overview of a presentation about building resiliency for those working in trauma fields like child welfare. The presentation covers:
1) The potential impacts of secondary traumatic stress on helpers, including effects on cognition, emotions, behavior, and physical health.
2) Strength-based concepts that can help increase resilience, like passion for the work, an internal locus of control, seeing challenges as opportunities, and high emotional intelligence.
3) Actions individuals and organizations can take to strengthen resiliency, such as self-reflection, mindfulness, modeling resilient behaviors, and focusing on hiring and development.
The presentation aims to help participants understand the effects of trauma exposure and identify personal strategies for preventing stress

This document discusses preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) through a dual generation approach of supporting both children and parenting adults. It presents data showing very high ACE scores among Washington adults ages 18-34 and 35-54, and how unaddressed ACEs can compound across generations through effects on parenting ability, health, behavior, and crisis. The document advocates engaging communities to shift social norms, and reforming systems like health, corrections, education and workforce development using ACE-informed policies. It presents evidence that building social/emotional support and resilience can reduce ACE-driven costs and improve outcomes like employment, housing stability, and physical/mental health.
The Role of Occupational Therapy in Childhood Trauma atchison
This is an introduction to concepts of childhood trauma and the role of occupational therapy as a team member in comprehensive assessment and intervention
Adverse Childhood Experience for CHW and the Homeless Populationrrosing
The document discusses adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their relationship to homelessness and health issues. It describes the ACE study, which found strong links between traumatic or abusive childhood events and later health problems. People experiencing homelessness are likely to have high ACE scores. Trauma-informed care seeks to understand behaviors in the context of past trauma rather than judging people. Understanding ACEs can help practitioners in homeless services address client needs and behaviors more effectively.

Strong communities that provide nurturing relationships and safe environments for children can help break intergenerational cycles of adversity and toxic stress. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction are surprisingly common and have been shown to contribute to social, cognitive, and physical impairments that often last a lifetime if not addressed. Preventing ACEs through community-level efforts to support families and early intervention programs can help reduce long-term health costs and improve outcomes for children.
Case Management and Outcomes for Neglected Children: A 5 year follow up studyBASPCAN
This document summarizes a study examining case management and outcomes for 138 neglected children over 5 years. It finds that outcomes were often unstable, with 65% of returns to parents ending within 5 years and 48% of children being re-abused. Younger age at return, proactive case management, and placement in a changed household predicted stability. Barriers like late intervention, failure to address parental issues, and over-identification with parents hindered effectiveness. The conclusion calls for earlier intervention and addressing barriers to improve management of neglected children's cases.
Risk vs Reward: Michael Jeh runs life skills programs for elite sporting codes and has a passion for engaging parents and coaches to find ways to communicate effectively with talented adolescent athletes.
Michael will discuss why healthy risk-taking is so important for high performance and the crucial role that a sport’s culture plays in the lives of young athletes. He’ll provide an insight into the ways we can create an environment that allows talented junior athletes to push their boundaries, while understanding the pressures and temptations that confront adolescents, regardless of sporting ability
Key points to be covered include:
Making sense of teenage brain development.
The different pressures and expectations on elite athletes.
Early warning signs for burn-out, depression and unhealthy risk-taking.
Walking the fine line between being special and still being normal.
Dealing with drugs, alcohol, social media and other teenage risk factors.
Understanding the importance of instinct and why it’s potentially dangerous.
Effekt: A parent's perspective on alcohol educationMentor
This document discusses adolescent alcohol use and the role of parents in influencing adolescent drinking behaviors. It provides data from longitudinal studies showing that a brief parent-focused intervention called EFFEKT was effective at maintaining parents' restrictive attitudes towards underage drinking and decreasing rates of drunkenness and delinquency in adolescents over time compared to a control group. The intervention aimed to educate parents, change misconceptions, and provide strategies to prevent and handle adolescent drinking.
Using ACEs In Our Everyday Work - Implications For Clients and ProgramsHealth Easy Peasy
The document discusses adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their lifelong health impacts based on findings from the seminal ACE Study. It summarizes that experiencing ACEs is common and increases risks for negative health, social, and economic outcomes. Two organizations, Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee and The Family Center, have administered ACE assessments to clients and found high rates of ACEs, particularly household dysfunction and abuse. The organizations work to administer assessments sensitively and use results to tailor services, promote understanding of trauma, and empower clients through a prevention lens.
This document discusses 5 of the greatest challenges facing parents in 2013 according to child psychologist Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg. The challenges are anxiety, depression, substance abuse, self-harm, and eating disorders among youth. It also discusses the importance of developmentally appropriate parenting, ensuring teens get enough sleep, the risks of early alcohol use, building resilience, and maintaining overall well-being and flourishing.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction can negatively impact brain development and have lifelong physical, mental, and behavioral consequences if not properly addressed. Studies show that ACEs are strongly correlated with increased risks of health problems, disease, and early death in adulthood. Addressing ACEs through safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and trauma-informed practices can help break the cycle of intergenerational trauma.
Early Interventions - Anne Longfield, OBE, Chief Executive, 4ChildrenFDYW
This document discusses supporting young people to flourish through a holistic, life cycle approach. It identifies risk factors like family issues, poor school achievement, and community disadvantages that can lead to problems. Protective factors like family bonds, positive role models, and learning skills promote positive outcomes. Early intervention is important, like family support and parenting programs. Community services can help through outreach, relationships, and adapting support. The task is changing systems and attitudes to prioritize young people through joined-up, preventative services focused on strengths and problem-solving instead of reacting to crises. Leadership, collaboration, skills and funding are needed to enable this approach.
ADEPIS seminar - AET - Talking to kids about alcoholMentor
This is the presentation given by Helena Conibear from the Alcohol Education Trust at the ADEPIS seminar on Engaging parents in alcohol and drug education. This presentation stresses the importance of engaging parents in a conversation about alcohol.
The document discusses adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their long-term negative health impacts. It notes that ACEs are common, occur in clusters, and are predictors of poor health outcomes. However, the effects of ACEs can be mitigated through safe, stable and nurturing relationships in childhood as well as protective factors like strong social connections and access to community resources. The document encourages communities to help reduce ACEs and promote child well-being.
Breaking through the bars - The importance of early intervention with child o...robine
The document discusses early intervention approaches for child offenders. It notes that insecure attachment patterns formed in early childhood can influence children's behavior and increase the risk of offending. The current response focuses too much on punishment and not enough on underlying causes. An integrated framework is proposed to provide universal early support services and identify families needing intensive help, with the goal of preventing negative outcomes and reducing child offending.
ADEPIS seminar - Effekt (Orebro Prevention Programme) - N. KoutakisMentor
This document summarizes a presentation on the EFFEKT program for preventing underage alcohol use through engaging parents. The program is shown to:
1) Maintain parents' restrictive attitudes towards underage drinking through brief presentations at parent-teacher conferences focusing on the influence of parental attitudes.
2) Decrease rates of underage drunkenness and antisocial behaviors up to 3 years later, with effect sizes of 0.48 and 0.42 respectively.
3) Be particularly effective for "early starters" in reducing drunkenness (effect size of 0.72) and antisocial behaviors (effect size of 0.46).
This document provides a self-harm policy for schools and colleges. It defines self-harm, identifies risk factors, outlines staff roles and procedures for supporting students who self-harm. The policy aims to increase awareness and understanding of self-harm, provide guidance for staff, and offer support to students and their peers/families. It addresses individual self-harm as well as "fads" and includes appendices on understanding reasons for self-harm and changing self-harming behaviors. The policy is intended to help schools assist students who self-harm or are at risk of self-harm.

Domestic Violence in the Emergency DepartmentCarrie Evans
This document discusses domestic violence screening in emergency departments. It defines different types of domestic abuse including physical, emotional, sexual, reproductive, financial, and digital abuse. Statistics are provided showing that a significant percentage of women and men experience domestic violence from their partners. The purpose of screening in emergency departments is to identify victims and prevent further violence. Barriers to screening include lack of training, personal history of abuse, language differences, and time constraints. The document recommends screening all patients, sharing success stories, advocating for better training, addressing biases, using screening protocols, listening without judgment, and ensuring patient safety.

Much has been said and written about domestic violence. Nonetheless, there are many misconception that persist and need to be addressed. Part I - What is Domestic Violence
Grace Nava is a doctoral student and an associate professor of social studies.
This document discusses fluorescent angiography (FFA). It provides information on:
1. How fluorescent dyes like sodium fluorescein work by absorbing radiant energy and emitting light energy during fluorescence.
2. The uses and indications of FFA in evaluating retinal and choroidal diseases. It is used to assess vascular integrity and the blood-ocular barriers.
3. The phases seen during a normal FFA including the choroidal, arterial, arteriovenous, venous, and late phases.
4. Common abnormalities seen on FFA including leakage, pooling, staining, hyperfluorescence, hypofluorescence, and filling defects. These provide information on disease diagnosis and monitoring.
This document provides information about fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), including how it works, the clinical use of fluorescent dyes like fluorescein and indocyanine green, the procedure for FFA, and how to interpret the results. FFA involves injecting a fluorescent dye intravenously and then taking photographs of the retina as the dye circulates through the blood vessels. This allows visualization of the retinal and choroidal vasculature and detection of any abnormalities. The document describes the optical principles, angiographic phases, abnormal findings seen on FFA like hyperfluorescence and hypofluorescence, and limitations of the technique.
Exploring the array of influence on the construction of child neglectBASPCAN
The document summarizes key findings from a doctoral thesis that explored how child neglect is defined and categorized. It discusses three data sources used: interviews with child welfare professionals, observations of social work offices, and case conference minutes. It then outlines characteristics commonly seen in neglected children, such as living in unsuitable homes, young age, and parental issues like substance abuse. The definition of neglect used in assessments is also provided. Finally, it discusses perspectives of different professionals and how understandings of neglect can vary depending on role, training, and personal views.

In this webinar, Marian Williams, PhD, Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the USC UCEDD and Program Area Lead in Early Childhood Mental Health Programs, and Co-Director
of Interdisciplinary Training discussed:
- A project to increase access to early screening and intervention for youn children in underserved communities
- Why screening is critical; what is screened
- Red flags for autism spectrum disorder
- What services are recommended for young children with developmental concerns
- How we can keep children from falling through the cracks
This document discusses helicopter parenting and its effects on adolescent development. It defines helicopter parenting as overly involved parenting that is developmentally inappropriate and prevents adolescents from developing autonomy and independence. While helicopter parenting may provide some benefits like safety and support, it can also lead to decreased self-efficacy, problem-solving skills, and well-being in adolescents. The document promotes allowing appropriate risk-taking and independence in adolescents to support their development in accordance with Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. It provides strategies for healthcare providers to assess helicopter parenting and promote autonomy through family interventions.
Is there a 'best' approach to evaluating work with sexually exploited children?BASPCAN
This document discusses the challenges of evaluating interventions for sexually exploited children given the complex nature of the issue. It notes there is little existing evidence on effective preventative or protective services for child sexual exploitation. The lives of victims are chaotic and each case differs. The document proposes a compromise evaluation approach for a UK organization working with sexually exploited youth across multiple service centers. Outcome measures would be integrated into practice to evaluate well-being, trauma symptoms, and risk over time. Quantitative data collection faces challenges around consent, timely measure completion, and follow up. Qualitative research would further understand pathways into abuse and the types of help that make a difference. The evaluation seeks to better understand practice through data and inform practice through evaluation findings to develop a

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Gretchen Precey - Lessons about Safeguarding Children when there are Drugs/Alcohol in the family
1. Lessons about safeguarding children when
there are drugs/alcohol in the family
The Road to Recovery Conference
Brighton Oasis Project
5 September 2013
Gretchen Precey: Independent Social Worker
2. Lessons about safeguarding
• Risk is inevitable
• Parental substance misuse can be fatal for
children- the story of Child T
• Reducing risk by improving professional
practice
• Parental substance misuse: what’s the damage
to children?
• The contribution of women only substance
misuse projects to safeguarding
4. There is no absolute criteria on
which to rely when judging what
constitutes significant harm
Judgements on how best to
intervene will often and unavoidably
entail an element of risk
Working Together to Safeguard Children
4CRI Safeguarding Training
5. Risk management cannot eradicate risk;
it can only try to reduce the probability
of harm. The big problem for society
(and consequently for professionals) is
working out a realistic expectation of
professionals’ ability to predict the
future and manage risk of harm to
children and young people

• 29/10/06 T dies
8. Reading SCR Seminar 8
Relevance of practice and procedural issues to
the case of Child T
• ‘Start Again Syndrome’
• Eligibility criteria and thresholds for action
• Information Sharing
• Working with Neglect
9. Reading SCR Seminar 9
Start Again Syndrome
• Used as a defence by workers to overwhelming information
and feelings of hopelessness
• Each pregnancy or birth presented as a ‘fresh start’
• Parents fail to engage with agencies/ agencies fail to engage
with parents
• Focus is on the present not on the family history, lack of
progress not taken into account
• Growing evidence base that short-term, behavioural
approaches are not likely to succeed with families with long
standing, complex problems
10. Reading SCR Seminar 10
Eligibility Criteria
• Confusion and misunderstanding about
thresholds
• Pre-occupation with eligibility criteria for
services rather than a primary concern about
the child or children with whom they were
working
• Rectifying long standing problems with
thresholds will be a key test of LSCB’s
11. Reading SCR Seminar 11
Information Sharing
• It is what is done with information, rather than its
simple accumulation, that leads to more analytic and
safer assessments
• Communication problems were common
• Direct verbal communication more immediate and
effective way to share concerns
• Lack of confidence, knowledge, experience, status
resulted in failure to challenge information
12. Reading SCR Seminar 12
Practitioners should be encouraged to be curious and
to think critically and systemically.
Being aware of the way in which separate factors can
interact to protect from harm or cause increased risk
of harm is vital.
Many of these families were also known to adult
services, the well being of children and families must
also be a priority for those working in services for
adults
13. Reading SCR Seminar 13
Understanding neglect
• In these families parents tended to avoid
agencies, but agencies tended to avoid or
rebuff parents
• Most likely to be affected by the ‘start again
syndrome’
• Family history is complex, confusing and
overwhelming for practitioners
• Risk of recurring abuse is higher with neglect
than other types of maltreatment
14. Reading SCR Seminar 14
Responding to neglect
• Debilitating impact on professionals must be
recognised
• Clear mechanisms for reporting risks and
protective factors
• Long term plans of intervention over an
extended period is necessary
• ‘it’s never too late to start again’ mentality (ref
Think Family) can be counter-productive when
working with neglect

Findings from Biennial Analysis of Serious
Case Reviews
The children (189)
• 2/3 under 5; ½ under 1
• 60% of children died
• 17% subject to child protection
plans
• 13% were on care orders or
accommodated
• 45% of families highly mobile
• 50% of parents had criminal
record
• 75% affected by DV, mental
illness, substance misuse
• 75% did not cooperate with
services
The professionals
• Overwhelmed
professionals/overwhelmed
families
• Lack of clarity about procedures
and confidentiality
• Assumptions about involvement
of others
• Over emphasis on strengths
• Fixed thinking: neglect and ‘rough
handling’
• Dearth of information about
fathers and men
• Unrealistic expectations about
capability of less experienced
staff (CAF)
16. The chaotic behaviour in families was often mirrored in
professional’s thinking and actions. Many families and
professionals were overwhelmed by having too many
problems to face and too much to achieve. These
circumstances contributed to the child being lost or
unseen. The capacity to understand the ways in which
children are at risk of harm is complex and requires
clear thinking. Practitioners who are overwhelmed, not
just by the volume of work but also by its nature, may
not be able to do simple things well.

18. New Learning from Serious Case Reviews 2012
• Throughout the studies there was a sense of
disconnection from the children themselves:-
not paying attention to children’s emotional
development and not thinking about what it’s
like to be a child living in that family or
beyond the school setting; seeing the
disability not the child; and most powerfully
holding back from knowing the child as a
person.

Hidden Harm (ACMD 2004)
• 250,000 - 350,000 children of problem
drug users in the UK
• Equivalent of 3 - 5% of all children under

• Not all drug use is incompatible with being
a good parent
• 64% of children of problem drug users live
with their parents
• Most of the rest live with relatives
• 5% are in care

“We need to have a variety of thresholds in
responding to the impact of parental
substance misuse. If all we possess in our
threshold „tool-kit‟ is the „hammer‟ of child
protection, then we tend to respond to
every demand as though it is a nail, when
often it may be a screw, a tack or even a
drawing pin”.

Underpinning Principles
• Drug use cannot be tackled in isolation from
women‟s other needs
• Women-centred / needs-led
• Motivational, harm minimisation / solution-
focused approaches
• Trust and therapeutic alliance
• Acknowledging, accepting and containing
maternal ambivalence toward change in illicit
drug use and parenting responsibility
• Relational and attachment-based interventions
31. Oasis Reading Presentation 31
POCAR approaches
• Work on recognising own emotional regulation -
maternal reflective functioning and separation of
experiences
• Work on representations of child / parenting
• Work on inferences about children‟s emotional
needs / intentions, within a child development
context
• Work on developing sensitive responses to cues /
needs
• Emphasis on harmony and emotional regulation:
reciprocal calm states
• Investment shift from craving to care-giving
