Notes for Behavioral Health: ACE STUDY
"The gravest and most costly health care issue in the U.S. is child abuse." Dr. Robert Anda, CDC and The ACE study (Adverse Childhood Experience Study)
Many years ago at a medical conference on the power of spirituality and healing, I heard Dr. Anda present his findings from the ACE study. The data was powerful then and still is now. Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk in his book "The Body Keeps Score" also references Anda and the study:
"Anda calculated that the overall costs of child abuse exceeded those of cancer and heart disease and that?eradicating child abuse in America would reduce the overall rate of depression by more than half, alcoholism by two-thirds, and suicide, IV drug use and domestic violence by three-quarters."?
As we ponder how to address suicide, particularly in teens and young adults, depression, addiction and even violence and incarceration, let's keep this in mind: how do we alleviate the root cause? How do we eradicate domestic violence and abuse in?early stages of life??Domestic Violence like cancer knows no socio-economic bounds. It hits everyone and in every community YET it, as a national disease, receives a fraction of the financial support that cancer does. The two "diseases" are alike in that they are physically and emotionally painful and destructive. People suffering from either rely on the kindness of strangers and need a team of compassionate and kind professionals to help with the healing process.?
I worked for many years in domestic violence shelters via?my Create to Heal program. The pain and suffering from DV is acute and when the bruises heal, the memories and emotions and "ghosts" do not. Perhaps this is where we should be putting our time and attention?and resources. For more information on the ACE study and Dr. Anda, please visit:?https://robertandamd.com
