Document Summary
This doctor pioneered a way to treat stress in children, a startling source of future disease. A strong link between chronic disease and traumatic experiences during childhood things such as physical abuse or neglect, or living with a family member addicted to drugs or alcohol. She knew the children she saw lived with high doses of adversity, she said, and it made sense: trauma was affecting their developing brains and also their developing bodies. Started evaluating children not just for their medical histories, but also their social histories. And instead of treating only symptoms, she sought to help with the root causes of the stress that were making them sick. At the center for youth wellness, which opened in 2011, children and their parents can see mental health workers, learn about mindfulness and other relaxation techniques, and meet with case managers who connect them with social services.
