Aces are something I have been learning a lot about over these summer courses and I really liked how this videos cover many parts of them and explain them in a way all can understand. The video How Do We Stop Childhood Adversity from Becoming a Life Sentence with Benjamin Perks shows what aces are and how they impact a child. I enjoyed that he showed an example video for the audience to be able to analyze with him. This helps but into perspective the actions of aces and the reality of how it often impacts children and can later impact them. With that the video, You're going to be okay: healing from childhood trauma with Katy Pasquariello was very impactful for similar reasons. Where the others are people that work in fields related to aces this video came from an individual who themselves experienced aces and shared their story of the impacts and recovery from them. Which is why the last video, How Childhood Trauma Affects Health Across a Lifetime with Nadine Burke Harris, MD and Soren Gordhamer, is also so important. As this video highlights how understanding aces and their impact it is needed not just in fields of social work, counseling and other therapeutic fields but in medicine. Nadine discuss how adverse childhood experiences not only have impact in the moment but life long in that what the kids she worked with went through was more than just the trauma but as well larger health issues later. I also like from this video the hopefulness of it in that if aces can be readily and widely accept in medical fields as a source of health issues the work to address them can be better. Additionally it can be started early and this can provide youths who have experience with aces better health outcomes in the future. So how can aces as a health crisis be more accepted? If not addressed within a more immediate timeframe what is the work that can be done to help individuals? If aces are addressed more will there be hope that focus can be moved to intervention before aces can have an impact?
