Understanding the Effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Our Patrons: Trauma Informed Care
   ACEs word cloudA groundbreaking public health study (link is external) discovered that childhood trauma leads to the onset of many of the health and social challenges faced by our communities. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) — abuse, neglect, a mentally ill caregiver, drug- or alcohol-addicted family member, incarcerated household member, domestic violence, loss of parent/divorce — harm children's developing brains so profoundly that the effects continue to impact their lives as they become teens and adults.
   The more ACEs a person has, the higher their ACE Score, and the greater their risk for long-term consequences. For example, people with an ACE score of four are 2 times as likely to be smokers and 7 times more likely to be alcoholic, have a 400% increased risk of heart disease, and a 1200% increased risk of suicide. In fact, the study showed that ACEs are the most basic and long-lasting cause of health risk behaviors, mental illness, social malfunction, disease, disability, healthcare costs, and early death.
   But there is hope for healing!  Many of the agencies in our communities are working with children, teens, and adults whose challenges of homelessness, abuse, poverty, or mental illness represent the “downstream” wreckage of ACEs.
   Attend this training to understand ACEs and learn a new way to serve our library patrons... this new way is called “Trauma Informed Care”. 
Presenter: Mandi Dornfeld, ACE Interface Trainer, Winnebago County UW-Extension.
