For Physicians and Nurses

This is the fourth of the 4- Module video rendition of the ACEs 102 workshop, co-presented with the B.C. Child Youth Mental Health Substance Use Initiative. In this final module, we review some of the ideas that panelists presented during the live workshop regarding the application of Triple eS to the situation presented in Module 3. We also review and summarize the key concepts and tools presented earlier in Modules 1-3.

This is Module 3 of the 4 part video rendition of the ACEs 102 workshop, which was co-presented by the B.C. Child & Youth Mental Health & Substance Use Initiative. All children need to achieve developmental milestones. The most important of these milestones, though the least considered in our healthcare system, is that of secure attachment. In secure attachment, the three factors that constitute trauma-in-a-nutshell are minimized in parental interactions toward their children; and instead, the three Triple eS factors are maximized. How can these relate to how we might better approach our medical, psychiatric and counselling patients, in order to decrease triggering, iatrogenic trauma, and improve healing-aligned care? This part of the ACEs 102 video starts delving into these issues and possibilities with examples.

This is Module 2 of the 4 part video rendition of the ACEs 102 workshop, co-presented with the B.C. Child Youth Mental Health Substance Use Initiative. Hemispheric asymmetry (the difference between the functioning of the Right and Left hemispheres of the human brain" is a "core design principle of the brain", to quote the article from Neuron, "How does hemispheric specialization contribute to human-defining cognition?", (Hartswigen et al, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2021.04.024) Knowing how to work with this hemispheric asymmetry is key in our capacity to calm ourselves and others in difficult situations, to facilitate or impede healing in our patients, and in our ability to heal past cycles of trauma and cycles of triggering. Foundational concepts regarding these are explained in this video version of workshop

This is Module 1 of the video rendition of the ACEs 102 workshop, co-presented with the B.C. Child Youth Mental Health Substance Use Initiative. In it, other key concepts for facilitating healing, such as Dis-Ease and Trauma-in-a-Nutshell, are also introduced. A groundwork is also started for effective responding to ACEs in our clinical practice.

There are multiple reasons why an ACE score of zero can be a false negative, occurring in someone with a high ACE or high severe Trauma load suffering from consequences of that trauma. Studies that claim an absence of harm from administration of ACE questionnaires also often have a frequency of between 5-30% of participants who report feeling negative from being asked (Jaffe et al). However, unlike our office practice, many if not most studies also provide participants with rapid followup and access to counselling if needed after an ACE or Trauma questionnaire is administered.
