In this webinar, part of the Implementation with Intention series, participants will explore the opportunity of primary care-based dyadic care for improving child and family well-being. They will review the new dyadic care Medi-Cal benefit and opportunities to pay for health promotion and prevention and explore the intersection between dyadic care and toxic stress prevention.

In this webinar, part of the Implementation with Intention series, ACEs Aware youth and young adult patient advisors will share their recommendations for how health care teams can discuss Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress with young patients. Participants will also hear a clinician's perspective on approaches to addressing ACEs and toxic stress among adolescent patients. 

This webinar focuses on the causes and manifestations of burnout among health care professionals, evidence-based strategies to effectively prevent and manage burnout, and how burnout can be addressed as part of the implementation of Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) screening and trauma-informed care activities. Participants will learn about self-care and stress-mitigation strategies to promote personal resilience, as well as strategies that health care organizations can use to prevent burnout, focusing on workload, work-life balance, and organizational culture.

This webinar will highlight recently published key findings from the California ACEs Learning and Quality Improvement Collaborative (CALQIC), which was a two-year, 48-clinic, seven-region collaborative that examined the challenges and facilitators to implementing, scaling, and sustaining ACE screening and response in frontline Medi-Cal clinics. Participants will hear from Dr. Edward Machtinger, who co-directed CALQIC (with Drs. Marguerita Lightfoot and Anda Kuo) and Dr. Nicole Eberhart, a Senior Behavioral Scientist at RAND Corporation, a CALQIC evaluation partner. The webinar will describe ...

This webinar will explore the fundamentals of billing and reimbursement for Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) screening. Tailored for health care professionals and administrators, participants will learn about the billing cycle of an ACE screen and clinical response and key steps to building a billing workflow. The presenters will share strategies that they have used successfully in clinical settings, with a focus on aligning financial practices with prevention, screening, and treatment for ACEs and toxic stress.

In this edition of the Implementation with Intention webinar series, participants will learn how to prepare and set up common electronic health record (EHR) systems for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) screening and response. Participants will learn various approaches to EHR builds, how to leverage data systems for referrals within ACEs networks of care, and see examples of actual ACEs builds in specific EHR platforms.

In this edition of the Implementation with Intention webinar series, we will focus on how to develop your clinic's data strategy when implementing an Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) screening and response initiative. Participants will learn about the ways in which clinics have developed their rationale and approach around their ACEs data systems, and understand the range of metrics they can use to track progress and improve their ACE screening implementation process.

The Implementation with Intention webinar series continues with a session dedicated to answering commonly asked questions about implementing ACE screening and response initiatives in clinical settings. Participants will also learn about the resources available to support California teams doing this work, including new trainings on the ACEs Aware Learning Center, technical assistance offerings, and a new implementation pilot program.

In this webinar, members of the Marin Community Clinics (MCC) team will share their experience with implementing ACE screening and response in a Federally Qualified Health Center in the Bay Area. MCC, a pioneer in California since starting this work in 2017, is featured as a case study in the ACEs Aware Implementation How-to Guide and highlighted in previous “Implementation with Intention” webinars. Participants will have the opportunity to hear directly from MCC team members about their ACE screening implementation ...

This webinar will help participants tie together the elements of getting a practice ready, forming a team, getting buy-in, determining who and how to screen, and developing the clinical response to ACEs and toxic stress through real-world examples. Participants will learn how to prepare their teams and operations and discuss promising practices and lessons for ACE screening implementation from clinics in the field engaged in this work.

This webinar will help participants understand how to develop a clinical response to ACE screening and toxic stress. Participants will learn how to gather information, conduct a clinical assessment, and develop a treatment and follow-up plan using evidence-based strategies and frameworks.

In this webinar, participants will learn to understand and advance the key decisions that need to be made in selecting their clinic’s approach to ACE screening and the clinical response. This webinar will focus on helping participants determine who they will screen and how, prepare their clinical response for treating toxic stress, and map out how they will integrate ACE screening into their workflow.

The foundational information shared in this webinar will help California providers and health care teams understand the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) screening process at a high level and explore different approaches to implementation. Subsequent webinars in the series will focus on the specific details and logistics that clinics need to consider when implementing ACE screening and response.
