It's #ChildMentalHealthAwarenessDay! Join CAHMI in celebrating the possibilities for promoting positive mental health and flourishing of children by promoting family, school, and community positive childhood experiences! Here are key insights and resources to help us promote children’s flourishing: 1. Whole Child Approaches Are Essential: The prevalence of child mental health conditions can vary four-fold depending on their social and relational contexts. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dpe3MEfH 2. Prioritize Promoting Positive Health: Despite facing mental health challenges and relational health risks like adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), children can flourish! Promoting family resilience and parent-child connections and other positive childhood experiences is the key. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eQ5FRhrK 3. Reducing Risks Is Not the Same as Promoting Flourishing: Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) focus on fostering safe and nurturing relationships, which are crucial especially during challenging times. Without PCEs, most children do not flourish, regardless of the absence of Adverse Childhood Experiences. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dP4qi_t #MentalHealthAwareness #PACEs #ChildFlourishing

Dr. Christina Bethell collaborates with HOPE and others to bridge gaps in PCEs research and data, supporting efforts to transform early childhood services towards a positive health approach. Access the press release below.
A new 4-state study published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report finds that more than half of adults reported at least 6 out of 7 positive childhood experiences (PCEs), while less than 2 of 10 adults reported 2 or less PCEs. However, the number of PCEs differed when accounting for demographic and socioeconomic factors. People in racial and ethnic minority groups, those who identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and those earning less income had fewer PCEs. Research shows that PCEs promotes overall adult health and well-being including improved mental and physical health, higher educational achievement, and higher income. PCEs helps lessen the lifelong effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and allow the brain to heal from past trauma. Further understanding PCEs may help improve health equity.

Sharing to keep the focus on leveraging primary care to promote the healthy development and relational health of children and youth!
A bold vision for primary care as a protective factor is proposed in this new commentary, coauthored with my pioneering colleagues Drs. Alicia Lieberman, Christina Bethell, and Marguerita Lightfoot. In this vision, primary care is designed and resourced to interrupt the damaging impacts of adversity and toxic stress on health outcomes and health equity. To rebuild the foundations of primary care and overcome entrenched disparities in health, we need an evidence-based vision and models to inspire and guide action. Our hope is that clinicians, researchers, and policy makers focused on seemingly dissimilar issues - childhood and adult adversity, toxic stress, resilience and trauma-informed care, provider burnout, health equity, and health care reform - will see their goals as interdependent and work together to make this vision a reality.
