Abstract:

It has been nearly 20 years since the first Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study was published. It is time for the osteopathic profession to embrace these findings – that adversity and trauma in childhood foster ill health in adults and children. We need to champion a well-informed work force of medical providers who practice trauma-informed care. This should be completely intuitive for us, as our credo of mind, body and spirit aligns perfectly with this knowledge.
