Adverse Childhood Experiences and Opioid Misuse: Breaking the Cycle Through Shared Risk and Protective Factors

Tuesday, May 17, 2022

12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m.

Webinar

This virtual educational activity is jointly provided by AXIS Medical Education and the Connecticut Hospital Association in collaboration with the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

Target Audience: Physicians, nurses, social workers, quality professionals, risk managers, healthcare executives, and all healthcare professionals working with patients impacted by trauma and addiction.

Description: Safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments are essential to children’s health and wellbeing. However, many children don’t have these
types of relationships and environments, placing them at risk for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). In this presentation, Dr. Elizabeth Swedo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will discuss ACEs, ACEs’ intergenerational connections to opioid misuse, and the ways these problems can be jointly addressed
and prevented.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this activity, participants can expect to:
• Define adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
• Describe the ways that adverse childhood experiences are associated with opioid misuse in children and adults.
• Identify shared risk and protective factors and prevention strategies for ACEs and opioid misuse.

Recording: This activity will be recorded and archived for future participation.
