As much as I like to disagree with Jane on some issues ;-D (tongue firmly in cheek) I certainly must commend her on her clear summary and exposition here; except for two things I'd like to stress -- the list of ACEs on the ACE questionnaire is not complete, and remains open to further research -- such as, but not limited to, the effects for some children of repeated parental conflict -- matters not usually called "trauma" or "abuse"; and Resilience is an ongoing constructive process, not just, but worth considering, what people bring to the workplace -- how do so many people higher in ACEs than the norm manage to work effectively, and to continue to work effectively, in organisations? Because they've had, AND MUST continue to have, resilience-building experiences in their personal and work lives.The recent Treating Trauma Without Drama Summit, of which I've written on numerous occasions, was, and for the next day is, a rich, and free, source of materials for this learning and practice.
Of course, not everyone wishes to learn about all aspects of ACEs Science -- a term only developing due to the good work of this website -- as will be seen when I post later about the recent research of Peña, but it's a rich, though at times complicated, field worthy of serious study. (And the work of Peña might be of some interest to the more hard-headed medicos in your target group).
