You're welcome, Debra! Dr. Felitti mentioned in his last webinar that there is a lot of resistance to this information. Dr. Sandra Bloom has said the same thing. Here is a good quote of hers that I have posted before:
“We now know a great deal about the impact of trauma and despite this, training programs, degree programs, teacher preparation courses, etc., are still woefully deficient in conveying the research data to the people who need to know it,” said trauma expert Sandra Bloom, M.D. “Trauma training is not about the seemingly simple problem of giving people information. The real problem is that the material is challenging, threatening, and it may elicit resistance to change and denial within individuals and within entire systems. Any effort to [improve trauma services] will have to contend with this resistance if efforts are to be in any way successful,” said Bloom.” --The Damaging Consequences of Violence and Trauma. (2004).

Yes, I agree with you this site/forum is quite a blessing. :)
