that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or

threatening and that has lasting adverse effects on the individual’s functioning and

physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being

ACE Score and Health Risk

As the ACE score increases, risk for these health problems increases in a strong and graded fashion:

• Alcoholism and alcohol abuse• Chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease (COPD)• Depression• Hallucinations• Fetal death• Health-related quality of life• Illicit drug use• Ischemic heart disease (IHD)• Liver disease

• Risk for intimate partner violence• Multiple sexual partners• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)• Smoking• Suicide attempts• Unintended pregnancies• Early initiation of smoking• Early initiation of sexual activity• Adolescent pregnancy• HIV

Trauma in adults – Mental Health

11

• More than 84% of adult mental health clients will have trauma histories (Meuser et al, 2004)

• 50% of female and 25% of male clients experienced sexual assault in adulthood (Read et al, 2008)

• Clients with histories of childhood abuse will have earlier first admissions, more frequent and longer hospital stays, more time in seclusion and restraints, greater likelihood of self-injury or suicide attempts, more medication use and more severe symptoms (Read et al, 2008)

Trauma in adults – Substance Abuse

12

• Up to 65% of all clients in substance abuse treatment report childhood abuse (SAMHSA, 2013)

• Up to 75% of women in substance abuse treatment have trauma histories (SAMHSA, 2009)

• Over 92% of homeless mothers have trauma histories, They have twice the rate of drug and alcohol dependence as those without

(SAMHSA, 2011)

• Almost 1/3 of all veterans seeking treatment for a substance use disorder have PTSD (National Center for PTSD)

Trauma in adults – Kids

13

• 71% of children are exposed to violence each year (Finkelhor, et. al, 2013)

• 3 million children are maltreated or neglected each year (Child Welfare info, 2013)

• 3.5-10 million witness violence against their mother each year (Child Witness to Violence Project, 2013)

• 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys were sexually abused before adulthood (NCTSN Fact Sheet, 2009)

• 94% of children in juvenile justice settings have experience trauma (Rosenberg et al, 2014)

Trauma in person with developmental disabilities

14

• About 70 % of developmentally disabled people report being physically, and sexually assaulted, neglected or abused (Columbus Dispatch, 2015)

• About 90 % of the reported multiple occurrences (Columbus Dispatch, 2015)

• Fewer than 40% of people reported this abuse to authorities (Columbus Dispatch, 2015)

• Those that did saw an arrest rate of less than 10% (Columbus Dispatch, 2015)

Trauma in person with developmental disabilities

15

• One out of every three children and adults with developmental disabilities will experience abuse in their lifetime (Envision 2014)

• More that 90% of the time, that abuse will be inflicted by the very person they rely on to protect and support them (Envision 2014)

• With limited verbal skills, they may not have been able to tell anyone. And just because the actual traumatic event is over, it continues to play out in one's response to future situations (Envision 2014)

• Choose to judge behavior less and seek to understand what might be underneath and behind it; we must always be particularly cautious of seeing behavior as attention-seeking or manipulative (Envision 2014)

Trauma in older adults

18

• Based on a community sample of older adults, about 70% of older men reported lifetime exposure to trauma; older women reported a lower rate, around 41%

• In a large sample of older adults, greater lifetime trauma exposure was related to poorer self-rated health, more chronic health problems, and more functional difficulties

• Among a community sample of older women (average age = 70), 72% had experienced at least one type of interpersonal trauma during their lives (e.g., childhood physical or sexual abuse; rape) and higher rates of interpersonal trauma were related to increased psychopathology

Trauma in older adults

19

• Diminished sensory capabilities• Decreased mobility• Physical frailty• Income shrinkage and financial limitations• Loss of friends and social status• Isolation, widowhood• Changes in housing•Multiple medications, complex medical problems, ill health• Cognitive impairment or loss• Impaired self-care• Interrupted service

A child with 6 or more categories of adverse childhood experiences is 250% more likely to become an adult smoker .Smoking may not be caused by existence of local gas station availability or genetic predisposition

Childhood experiences and adult alcoholism

21

A 500% increase in adult alcoholism is directly related to adverse childhood experiences.

2/3rds of all alcoholism can be attributed to adverse childhood experiences

This certainly suggests that alcoholism, contrary to popular belief, may not be simply a disease – but rather be a means by which the individual has learned to ease the pain of the trauma – or to balance his/her nervous system – e.g. sooth anxiety.

Important ALWAYS to address and treat trauma along with alcoholism.

How does ACES affect our society?

Cost of Trauma

Trauma is a major driver of medical illness, including cardiac disease and cancer

Addressing trauma can positively impact the physical, behavioral, social and economic health of Ohio and Ohioans

25

What is Trauma Informed?

A program, organization or system that is trauma-informed:• Realizes the widespread prevalence and impact of trauma • Understands potential paths for healing• Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma and how

trauma affects all people in the organization, including:• Patients• Families/car givers• Staff• Others involved with the system

• Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into practices, policies, procedures, and environment.

26

Key Principles of Trauma-Informed Care

• Safety• Trustworthiness and transparency• Collaboration and mutuality• Empowerment• Voice and choice• Peer support and mutual self-help• Cultural, historical and gender issues

Resiliency and strength-based

27

Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) Promotes Cultural Change

28

“What’s wrong with you?”

“What has happened to you?”

Outcomes with TIC

• Improved quality of care and impact of care• Improved safety for patients and staff• Decreased utilization of seclusion and restraint• Fewer no-shows• Improved patient engagement• Improved patient satisfaction• Improved staff satisfaction• Decreased “burnout” and staff turnover

29
