This week we begin to discuss Children at Risk. This topic overlaps into Intimate Partner Violence which we will discuss in PP this week also but you will have an activity about this topic next week. Children are vulnerable yet are often exposed, even in the “best” of homes, to adverse experiences.
I have a 19 yo client right now who comes from a well off family system, her parents are prominent community members – and she is finally disclosing that her mother has been abusing alcohol for as long as she can recall. The impact is significant…The ACE Study is the attached video…Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences – The LARGEST American Medical Association Study ever done!
1. What is significant about this study and what impacted you most about learning about this – the largest American Medical Association Study ever done?
2. What do you think needs to be done to minimize the impact of ACE’s?
3. What is the role of social work in supporting victims of trauma?
4. How can we as future social workers shift the numbers so that fewer children expereince ACES?
