CQC Webinar: Increase Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Screening

October 5th, 2021

Part of our ongoing Accelerated Integrated Care Series, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood and have been linked to more than 40 negative health conditions, including poor mental health, substance use disorder, adverse health behaviors, chronic physical disease, and shortened life span. Screening for ACEs is key to providing integrated physical and mental health services, but ACEs screening can be challenging to implement, due in part to the lack of training and education on toxic stress, trauma-informed care, and the association between ACEs and chronic disease.

Featured presenters shared insight into ACE’s screening:

During this Purchaser Business Group on Health (PBGH)’s California Quality Collaborative (CQC) webinar, provider organizations shared how they have trained care teams, designed workflows for screening and integrated healing strategies at the point of care and within their communities.
