Dr. Nadine Burke Harris TED Talk on Trauma and what is the reason we are not treating Trauma?
An ACE score is a tally of different types of abuse, neglect, and other hallmarks of a rough childhood. According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study, the rougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be and the higher your risk for later health problems. You can take the test below:
So, you’ve got your score. Now what?
First, remember that the ACE score isn’t a crystal ball; it’s just meant as guidance. It tells you about one type of risk factor among many. It doesn’t directly take into account your diet or genes, or whether you smoke or drink excessively — to name just a few of the other major influences on health.
To learn more, check the CDC’s ACE Study website. You’ll find, among other things, a list of studies that explore the ways adverse childhood experiences have been linked to a variety of adult conditions, ranging from increased headaches to depression to heart disease.
Remember this, too: ACE scores don’t tally the positive experiences in early life that can help build resilience and protect a child from the effects of trauma. Having a grandparent who loves you, a teacher who understands and believes in you, or a trusted friend you can confide in may mitigate the long-term effects of early trauma, psychologists say.
“There are people with high ACE scores who do remarkably well,” says Jack Shonkoff, a pediatrician and director of the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University.
Resilience, he says, builds throughout life, and close relationships are key. Recentresearch also suggests that for adults, “trauma informed” therapy — which can center on art, yoga or mindfulness training — can help.
How best to find and help kids who are experiencing abuse and neglect right now?
Child psychologist Hilit Kletter, of Stanford University’s School of Medicine, says that to spot these children, she looks for visible signs of stress to understand what might have happened to them and how best to intervene. Some kids have nightmares or recurring thoughts of a stressful event, she says, or may re-enact the trauma through play. Or the child may seem distracted or withdrawn.
“This will come out at school,” Kletter says. “Teachers will tell parents [their child] seems to be in a daze in the classroom, not paying attention.”
According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study, the rougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be and the higher your risk for various health problems later.
Kletter says reactions to trauma are sometimes misdiagnosed as symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, because kids dealing with adverse experiences may be impulsive — acting out with anger or other strong emotions.
“It’s something that’s very common in trauma: difficulty in regulating emotions and behavior,” she explains. “That’s why a lot of these kids get in trouble with the classroom.”
Shonkoff’s research center at Harvard tests interventions that can build resilience in kidswho are growing up with adverse experiences — not just problems in the family, such as those the ACE study investigated, but also trauma stemming from poverty, for example, or from the chronic stress of racial or gender discrimination.
To bolster parents, the Harvard team is testing interventions right now that use video coaching to show moms and dads how to engage their babbling infants, using sounds and facial expressions in a style Shonkoff calls serve and return.
Shonkoff says these early interactions — a kind of conversation — have been shown to help children with later learning and literacy. Even more important, they boost kids’ resilience, by helping them build secure attachments with caring adults. Research suggests that just one caring, safe relationship early in life gives any child a much better shot at growing up healthy.

Nadine Jacqueline Burke Harris (born 1975, Vancouver, Canada[2]) is an American pediatrician.[1]Burke Harris is internationally known for linking Adverse Childhood Experiences and toxic stress with harmful effects to health later on in life.[3] She is an advisory council member for Hillary Rodham Clinton’sClinton Foundation Too Small to Fail campaign.[4] Burke Harris is the Founder and chief executive officer of the Center for Youth Wellness.[1][5] Hailed as a pioneer in the treatment of toxic stress,[5] her work has been featured in Paul Tough‘s book How Children Succeed.[6]
Burke Harris received her medical degree from the University of California, Davis.[7] Following her master’s degree in public health from Harvard.[8] she went on to earn her residency at Stanford in pediatrics.[9]
Her graduate studies were supported by The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans.
In 2005, Burke Harris joined the California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) staff, tasked with the goal of developing programs to end health disparities in San Francisco.[10] While at Harvard, Burke Harris identified access to health care as a key component of the health disparity in San Francisco.[11] In 2007, with support from CPMC, Burke Harris became the founding physician of the Bayview Child Health Center and medical director of the new clinic.[5][11]
In 2008, after reading “The Relationship of Adverse Childhood Experiences to Adult Health: Turning Gold Into Lead,” by Vincent J. Felitti, Burke Harris realized that her patients’ traumatic experiences were having a negative impact on their present and future health.[11]
In 2011, she was appointed by the American Academy of Pediatrics to the Project Advisory Committee for the Resilience Project.[12]
From 2010 to 2012, Burke Harris along with colleagues Daniel Lurie from Tipping Point Foundation, Kamala Harris, Victor G. Carrion, Lenore Anderson, Lisa Pritzker and Katie Albright, came together to create an innovative approach to addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences in theBayview Hunters Point neighborhood in San Francisco. From this effort, the Center for Youth Wellness was created in 2012 to change the standard of pediatric practice by creating a clinical model that recognizes the impact of adverse experiences on health and effectively treats toxic stress in children. The multidisciplinary approach focuses on preventing and undoing the chemical, physiological and neurodevelopmental results of ACEs. The Center for Youth Wellness integrates primary health care, mental health and wellness, research, policy, education, and community and family support services to meet children and families where they are to support them in leading healthier lives.[5][11]
In 2014, Burke Harris was selected a speaker at a Tedtalks event titled TedMed in San Francisco. Her talk, “How Childhood Trauma Affects Health Across a Lifetime”, has reached over 1.5 million viewers on Tedtalks.com.[13]

This is a very powerful talk on how childhood traumas can lead to severe health consequences.
I will let Dr. Nadine Burke Harris tell you about it. (15:58 Minutes) I tried to embed it but it wouldn’t do it.
What do you think can be done to help prevent these traumas from occurring?
Do you think our healthcare system and how we treat kids needs to be changed to reflect this new insight into how some diseases take off later in life for these kids?
What are any other thoughts you may have pertaining to this?

Stephen W. Porges is a professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in North Carolina. Prior to moving to North Carolina, Professor Porges directed the Brain-Body Center in the department of psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he also held appointments in the departments of psychology, bioEngineering, and worked as an adjunct in the department of neurosocience which he found suited him and it became his priority. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Dr. Porges served as chair of the department of human development and director of the institute for child study. He is a former president of the Society forpsychophysiological Research and has been president of the Federation of Behavioral, Psychological and Cognitive Sciences (now called the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences), a consortium of societies representing approximately twenty-thousand biobehavioral scientists. He was a recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Development award. He has chaired the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, maternal and child health research committee and was a visiting scientist in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Laboratory of Comparative Ethology. He was awarded a patent on a methodology to describe neural regulation of the heart, and today is a lead neuroscientist with particular interests in cranial nerve responses as it relates to both animal and man in which there are specified responses that are physiological in the body. In 1994 he proposed the polyvagal theory providing insight into the mechanism mediating symptoms observed in the brain. The theory has stimulated research and treatments emphasizing the importance of physiological state and behavioral regulation.
Stephen Porges is married to C. Sue Carter, a world leader in the role of neuropetides oxytocin andvasopressin in social cognition. They have two sons, Eric and Seth Porges.
Polyvagal introduces perspective relating to autonomic function of behavior including an appreciation of the autonomic nervous system as a system, the identification of neural circuits involved in the regulation of autonomic state and interpretation of autonomic reactivity as adaptive within the context of the phylogeny of the vertebrate autonomic nervous system,[1] explores paradigms, explanations, and conclusions regarding the role that autonomic function has in the regulation of affective states and social behavior. Foremost, the polyvagal perspective emphasizes the importance of phylogenetic changes in the neural structures regulating the heart [2] and phylogenetic shifts providing insight into the adaptive function of both physiology andbehavior. The theory emphasizes the phylogenetic emergence of two vagal systems: a potentially lethal ancient brain and cord circuits involved in defensive strategies of immobilization (e.g., fainting, freeze, fight) including dissociative states.[3][4] Polyvagal responses provided a new conceptualization of the autonomic nervous system that emphasize neurophysiological mechanisms and phylogenetic shifts in the neural regulation of the psychological responses from the cranial nerves to the spine, spinal cord and lower aspects of the mammalian brain.
In the advent of 2015 several updates to both the human and animal theories of polyvagal responses have been reported, and for the most part they have been by Stephen Porges, [3] however Frank M. Corrigan is a leader in the field, and he along with fellow authors of their 2011 text titled,Neurobiology and Treatment of Traumatic Dissociation Toward an Embodied Self have raised the bar by adding flight, feign polyvagal responses to what Porges has already presented. Both identifiers are important since they tag the dissociative disorders in such a way that gave the answers that were needed in order to move the field of psychology from a subjective art to a hard science using tools like PET and fMRI.[4]
