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.

Embodied family therapy a somatic experiencing based approach to building at...Michael Changaris
This document discusses embodied family therapy and healing family conflict through a somatic experiencing approach. It notes that family interactions shape the development of children's stress response systems and limbic systems. Disruptions in early attachment can cause long-lasting changes in stress reactivity. The document also discusses intergenerational trauma, trauma's effects on brain development, elements of consciousness, developing family resilience through emotion regulation, and implicit communication within families.
Catholic Clergy Sex Abuse: Scandal & Crisis, Prevention & HealingRose Pacatte, D. Min.

The goal is to raise awareness about the situation, educate about circumstances and situations where abuse can happen, develop skills for young women religious (sisters) specifically to deal with situations, and prompt major superiors to develop protocols for reporting and healing. Resources are listed at the end, including films dealing with clergy sex abuse and links to educational and policy resources.
Carlo Acutis was an Italian Catholic teenager known for his holiness, passion about the Eucharist, and devotion to God from a young age. Even with a computer genius intellect, he used his talents to create a website about Eucharistic miracles to spread faith. When diagnosed with leukemia, Carlo offered his suffering for the Church and those who were ill. He was declared venerable in 2018 and will be beatified in October 2020 in Assisi, where his tomb has become a site for veneration, as he lived a normal life that became extraordinary through putting God at the center.
This document discusses teenage pregnancy, including demographics, key issues facing pregnant teenagers and midwives, and local and national strategies. It provides statistics on teenage pregnancy rates in Scotland and discusses challenges such as lack of family support, mental health, continuing education, and involvement of the father. National strategies aim to halve teenage pregnancy rates through education and support programs. Local support organizations and midwifery guidelines also aim to address the holistic needs of pregnant teenagers.
This document discusses mental health across the lifespan in 4 sections:
1) Pregnancy and early parenthood - Postpartum depression affects 10-20% of mothers and risk factors include a family history of mental illness.
2) Childhood to adolescence - Significant mental health problems can emerge early and experiences like trauma can damage brain development. Risks include physical illness, family problems, and bullying.
3) Young adulthood to adulthood - Mental health issues affect 1 in 6 employed people and can impair work. Relationships are important for well-being but social networks tend to decrease with age.
4) Older adults - Up to 60% of older adults with medical conditions like strokes may
This document summarizes key issues related to youth mental health in the United States. It finds that 1 in 5 youth have or will have a serious mental illness. The most common disorders among youth are substance use disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. Many factors can influence mental illness risk in youth, including socioeconomic status, minority status, trauma, bullying and lack of sleep. However, less than half of youth with mental disorders receive treatment due to various barriers like stigma, lack of perceived need for help, and poor access to care. The document recommends developing technology-based interventions to address specific disorders and barriers faced by different youth groups.
This document discusses attachment disorders in youth. It identifies four main attachment styles: secure, avoidant, anxious, and ambivalent/disorganized. Symptoms and challenges of each style are described. Experiences like abuse, neglect or loss of a parent can lead to attachment problems. Treatment focuses on developing trust and connection through a PACE attitude of playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy. Creating a coherent narrative by connecting a youth's story to behaviors and trauma can help repair attachments. Educating caregivers is also important for therapeutic parenting.
Mental Health Conditions Among Children – A Growing ProblemSastasundar
Mental disorders in children are quite common, occurring in about one-quarter of this age group in any given year. The most common childhood mental disorders are anxiety disorders, depression, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
This document discusses the need for comprehensive sex education for teens and proposes a solution. It notes that teens are often not properly educated about sexual health and protection. The challenges include school policies that teach abstinence-only and lack of comfortable teachers. The proposed solution is a toolkit called "Guerrilla Sex Education" that would educate teens and give them tools to educate peers. Research with teens and young adults found they want information on birth control, STIs, and consent. The toolkit would be a website and app for anonymous questions and answers from vetted young adults along with stories, surveys and notifications. Next steps include user testing, developing educator guidelines and partnering with organizations.
Gender-based violence, especially against women, is a significant problem in Kenya. Over 40% of married women report experiencing domestic or sexual violence. Factors like education levels, religion, and socioeconomic status influence the high rates of violence. Domestic violence is underreported, but surveys found 39% of women experienced physical violence and 14% sexual violence. Rape, female genital mutilation, and human trafficking also harm women in Kenya. Addressing violence requires legal reforms, awareness campaigns, support services, and challenging social norms.
The Effects of Divorce on Young Adults and Distinctions in their Psychologica...Tamarau" Manfred Gunuboh
This document summarizes research on the effects of parental divorce on young adults' psychological well-being. Several studies found that young adults from divorced families reported more negative attitudes about marriage and commitment in relationships. They also showed slightly higher rates of depression, anxiety, anger and lower self-esteem. However, one recent study found no significant difference in self-esteem between young adults from divorced versus intact families when social support was accounted for. In general, the literature suggests parental divorce can negatively impact young adults' psychology and relationships.
Healthy food and eating habits are important for both physical and mental well-being. Consuming a balanced diet with vegetables, fruits, and proper portions of nutrients can help maintain a healthy weight and reduce risks of diseases. However, rates of childhood obesity are increasing globally due to bad eating habits and attraction to unhealthy foods. Children who are overweight or obese face higher risks of health problems like heart disease. To live well, it is important to practice healthy eating with a balanced diet and avoiding junk food in favor of vegetables and fruits.

Sex education provides age-appropriate information about sexuality to students from an early age. It aims to debunk common myths, such as the idea that discussing sexuality will lead children to experiment. In reality, comprehensive sex education that discusses both abstinence and contraception has been shown to help young people delay sexual activity and make informed decisions. It also teaches important life skills around relationships, consent, and sexual health that can help protect youth from STDs, unintended pregnancy, and unhealthy or abusive relationships.
The document discusses teenage pregnancy, defining it as occurring between ages 13-19. Main causes include poverty, lack of access to contraception, and substance abuse. Consequences include mental, social, financial problems for the mother as well as health risks for the baby like premature birth. Teen pregnancy costs U.S. taxpayers $11 billion per year. It can also negatively impact the teen's education by causing irregular attendance and dropping out. Suggested solutions include improved sex education, access to contraception and counseling.
Mental Health Online Diaries: Understanding Child-Parent/Guardian RelationshipsBorn This Way Foundation
On behalf of Born This Way Foundation, Benenson Strategy Group conducted a series of online ethnographic diary interviews between young people and their parents/guardians to:
▪ Explore questions surrounding the family dynamics of mental health and wellness, and begin to understand what makes for supportive environments and relationships
▪ Further understand the ways in which young people and their parents/guardians feel connected or disconnected to their families and broader support networks
▪ Ethnographic diaries are a qualitative methodology and should therefore be considered directional. This ethnographic research will be used to inform the next phase of quantitative research that will dimentionalize family dynamics on a quantifiable scale, allowing for conclusive findings.
This document summarizes an article from the Elim Clinic Newsletter from February 2015. It discusses how addiction affects families and children. Some key points:
- Children in addict families often take on adult roles and responsibilities to care for parents and siblings. They learn not to trust their own feelings and experiences.
- Living with addiction is confusing for children, as they are taught not to believe what they see. They internalize feelings of shame and learn not to trust themselves or others.
- Children may adopt roles like the "responsible child" or "family hero" to cope with the dysfunction in the addict home. These roles can persist into adulthood.
- Growing up in an addict home is lonely and scary for children

This document discusses a study on the impact of competing priorities on the aspirations, health, and well-being of young women aged 18-30. An online survey of 300 young women in South Australia found they feel pressure to "do it all" through unpaid domestic work, study, paid work, and volunteering. Focus groups discussed the daily struggles of juggling responsibilities without support and how short-term demands prevent pursuing long-term goals. Structural factors like inadequate income, childcare costs, and a lack of services and jobs present barriers. The study found young mothers prioritize immediate needs over aspirations due to stress, while volunteers have more freedom but concerns over balancing family and career. Tailored support is needed to help young women
E-Book Trauma Safe Schools Educating Adolescents w Trauma Michael Changaris
This E-Book Explores the impact of trauma on education and learning for teens, adolescents and schools. It offers a neurocognitive developmental perspective and skills for educators to enhance effective teaching for adolescents with symptoms of PTSD. The course explores social skills, emotional regulation and neurobiology.
We are all broken in some way. How we respond to our brokenness depends upon good fortune and the beliefs we develop. In our everyday life, we seek meaning, connection, fulfillment, and love. This seeking is built into our DNA and is necessary for our survival in infancy. Throughout our lives, seeking and its fulfillment give meaning to our lives. In this article, I discuss these ideas and illustrate them with examples from my personal life and from my research on resilience and the meanings of violence to perpetrators. I conclude with reflections on beliefs and spiritual longing.
The document discusses mother's guilt and provides tips to help deal with it. It explains that mother's guilt is common and stems from feeling like one's best efforts aren't good enough. It then lists rules for silencing mother's guilt, such as getting real about perfection not being possible, stopping judgments of oneself, focusing on positives, and creating a supportive community. The document concludes by emphasizing that mother's guilt is natural but should not be weighed down by and that with love, children will not feel wanting.
A presentation given by NCT's CEO, Belinda Phipps, on the importance of listening to what women and midwives want. Presented at the Local Supervising Authority Midwifery Officers Forum 2013 in Yorkshire
The document discusses women's experiences of childbirth and what factors contribute to feeling safe and fulfilled during labor and delivery. It notes that having a known and trusted midwife, feeling in control and involved in decisions, and receiving continuous care are important. However, some women report negative experiences like being left alone when frightened or not feeling listened to by healthcare professionals.
Creating an appropriate infrastructure ScotlandNCT
This document discusses creating appropriate infrastructure and services to support families during the transition to parenthood. It notes that parents have needs for health services, childcare, employment, housing, and other supports. The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) aims to lobby for what parents want from these services and ensure politicians and providers meet these needs. The NCT's new strategy is to increase their reach to more parents, use their influence to change perceptions of parenthood, and partner with other organizations to deliver more support services.
The document discusses the needs of families transitioning to parenthood and NCT's role in advocating for integrated services to meet these needs. It notes that parents require support from various sectors like health, education, employment, and highlights current challenges like rising birth rates, economic pressures, and child poverty. NCT advocates for integrated family services through all stages from pregnancy to early childhood delivered via collaboration between government agencies, local authorities, and community groups. It outlines NCT's new strategy to expand its reach and influence through partnerships to create solutions addressing the dilemmas parents face.
Creating an appropriate infrastructure - English presentationNCT
The document discusses creating appropriate infrastructure and services to support families during the transition to parenthood. It notes that parents need services in health, education, employment, income, housing, and other areas. The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) aims to lobby for what parents want from these services and ensure politicians, policymakers, and providers meet families' needs in both the short and long term. Current UK policies around maternity leave, midwife shortages, rising birth rates are also summarized. The NCT's new strategy is outlined as focusing on increasing reach, thought leadership, and partnerships to expand support available to new parents.
NCT is developing a new strategic direction for infant feeding support that focuses on:
1) Supporting parents' decision making processes while also protecting decisions to breastfeed.
2) Addressing long-running problems like feelings of pressure and guilt regardless of feeding method, as well as high rates of early breastfeeding problems and discontinuation.
3) Shifting away from "choice" language and instead focusing on supporting mothers in all feeding decisions through a non-judgmental, empathetic and mother-centered approach.
A charity to believe in: Inspiring supporters and asking for moneyNCT
This document provides guidance on creating fundraising appeals to support the charity NCT. It recommends focusing the appeal on (1) illustrating a problem faced by parents, (2) sharing a personal story to demonstrate the real impact, (3) describing NCT's solutions and how donations can help fund them, and (4) breaking the fundraising goal into smaller donation amounts with specific purposes. The document uses examples like reducing isolation or increasing access to support groups to define problems and shows how funds could pay for helpline access, training, or course attendance. The overall aim is to encourage donations by explaining NCT's work and the impact of contributions.
Positioning the transition to parenthood to create positive perceptionsNCT
The document discusses positioning the transition to parenthood in a positive way through defining and naming this life stage. It notes many issues parents face are due to poor societal understanding of parenting's value. The NCT wants to improve understanding of the transition to parenthood through influencing media, culture and education. Examples are given of different experiences parents face during this transition period. The document examines naming conventions and suggests the transition to parenthood could be considered a status, natural event or brand to create a positive perception. Consultation with NCT stakeholders on an appropriate name will continue into 2012.
The document discusses the history of evidence-based practices in maternity care, noting that while antenatal care expanded in the early 20th century, it was often not evidence-based and did not necessarily improve outcomes; it also outlines NCT's commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based information to parents and engaging staff in discussions around using evidence effectively.
This document outlines NCT's plans to enhance fundraising and engagement efforts over the next 8 years to support their mission of helping parents. Key initiatives include:
1. Making donations and membership more accessible through improved offerings and transparency on impact.
2. Diversifying funding sources through new donor opportunities, commerce partnerships, and social enterprise programs.
3. Demonstrating impact to existing and potential supporters through reporting on outcomes.
The goal is to reach 20 million parents by 2020 and ensure NCT's services are available to all who need support until society better supports the needs of new parents. Feedback is requested to help strengthen NCT's strategies.
