Training Teleconference


The Impact of Trauma on Wellness: Implications for Comprehensive Systems
Change


March 30, 2011


 

"Adverse childhood experiences are associated with a higher risk of
depression, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, substance abuse, and
premature death." 

-Valerie J. Edwards, team lead for the Adverse Childhood Experiences
Team at CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
almost 60 percent of American adults say they endured abuse and other
difficult family situations as children, otherwise known as adverse
childhood experiences.[1][1] Those experiences can have long-term health
consequences. The annual financial burden to society of childhood abuse
and trauma is $103 billion, according to a 2007 Federal Economic Impact
Study. The costs include annual direct costs such as hospitalization,
mental health care, child welfare service, and law enforcement, as well
as indirect costs such as special education, juvenile delinquency,
mental health and health care, adult criminal justice system, and lost
productivity.
