Description
This presentation will provide an overview of the ACE Study which is the largest study of its kind, with over 17,000 participants. It was developed and co-sponsored by Kaiser Permanente (managed care consortium) of San Diego, California, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia in the early ‘90s. Dr. Vincent Felitti and Dr. Rob Anda are the co-principal investigators of the ACE Study. In addition, specific helps (tools) will be discussed including the four resiliency factors that make a difference and help begin to create self-healing communities.
What’s predictable is preventable – because of recent discoveries in neuroscience, epigenetics, epidemiology, and resilience studies, we can understand how protection, prevention, and resilience promotion can profoundly improve health, safety & productivity, and reduce public and private costs now and for generations to come.
It should be noted that both Professor Frye and I are Master ACEs Trainers. We have permission to use the slides developed for this presentation.
