Adverse Childhood Experiences, Outcomes, and Interventions
About
This webinar, part of the ACEs Aware Science and Innovation Speaker Series, will feature Dr. Rachel Gilgoff, who will present on the paper, “Adverse Childhood Experiences, Outcomes, and Interventions”. She will discuss how the science of stress physiology provides a window into therapeutic targets for treating toxic stress, and will examine how providers can develop their clinical response to Adverse Childhood Experiences.
Learning Objectives
- Describe how the science of stress biology can be applied to clinical response for children who have experienced early life adversity.
- Explain how to incorporate trauma-informed and science-based anticipatory guidance and interventions related to supportive relationships, sleep, nutrition, physical activity, mindfulness, nature, and mental health.
- Identify how to build a trauma-focused and human-centered network of resources and referrals to address toxic stress in a busy clinical practice.
Professional Credit
- This activity provides the following types of credit: AMA, AAPA, APA, ANCC, ASWB, ABIM-MOC, ABP-MOC.
- 1.0 credits are available.

Featuring
As a board-certified general pediatrician, child abuse pediatrician, and integrative medicine specialist, Dr. Gilgoff brings a multidisciplinary approach to ACEs, toxic stress, healing, and well-being. Over the course of her career, she has been a co-investigator of the Pediatric ACEs Screening and Resilience Study (PEARLS), the Medical Director of the Clinical Innovations and Research Team within Center for Youth Wellness, and co-founder of the National Committee on Asthma and Toxic Stress. She co-developed the Resiliency Clinic, a group clinic intervention model to treat toxic stress, and more recently, co-created VITAL: Relational Health, a free, on-line learning series on the science and practice of relational health. Dr. Gilgoff is currently an adviser with the California Aces Aware Initiative, an Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, and a co-PI on Systems-based, Multidisciplinary Assessment of Adversity and Toxic Stress for Individualized Care (The SYSTEMAATIC Project), an ACEs and Precision Medicine research project through the California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine (CIAPM). She is dedicated to addressing health issues resulting from child abuse and toxic stress, creating systems of care that incorporate the science of stress biology and wellness, and collaborating across sectors to develop multidisciplinary, integrative, human-centered, and holistic approaches to healing.
