JULY 2017 Webinar

ACE's In Places - Adverse Childhood Experiences and their impact on Spiritual Care
Presented by Deacon Jack Conrad, BCC

 

Program Summary
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) are hidden stories in lives that manifest themselves in behavior, beliefs, diseases and early death. Early studies done by Feletti and Alda (1995) show that adverse experiences when you were a child, have significant impact on your health and relationships. As Chaplains, our awareness of these stories can aid us in effectively ministering to those who may have high ACE scores. Creating awareness of ACE scores amongst ourselves and interdisciplinary staff will help all to more effectively provide care in our institutions.

The Webinar will present:
a) Current knowledge of Adverse Childhood Experiences and their impact on those with higher scores.
b) Specific Cases related to interaction with families and patience with high ACE Scores.
c) Discussion on the impact of dealing with and ministering to patients and families with high ACE Scores as Chaplains.

Program Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
  1. 1) Gain insight on the current literature concerning Adverse Childhood Experiences.
  2. 2) Hear and discuss cases related to ministering to patients and families with high ACE scores.
  3. 3) Come away with ideas as to how to deal with and minister to families and patients with high ACE scores.
