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


March 30, 2011, 3:00 - 4:30 PM EST


  “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] <x-msg://8934/Task%2011%20Training%20Teleconferences/2011%20Training%20Teleconferences/Training%20Teleconference%201_Housing%20Homelessness%20and%20Social%20Inclusion/Registration%20Announcement/iframe.tml%3fid=20110303145801_0.0446417429692&inplace_id=#_ftn1>  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.

 

The SAMHSA 10x10 Wellness Campaign <http://t.ymlp111.net/ubuqatajswafabjesaxaeuuj/click.php>  invites you to a free training teleconference titled, “The Impact of Trauma on Wellness: Implications for Comprehensive Systems Change.”

This teleconference will educate diverse stakeholders about comprehensive systems change, including preventing harm and inadvertent retraumatization and ensuring that services and supports are welcoming, engaging, and culturally attuned. The goal is to help facilitate the healing process among people who have experienced trauma so that they can become fully engaged in their communities.
