Absenteeism. Lack of focus. Depression. High cost of health care.
In 1998, Kaiser Permanente and the CDC collaborated on a groundbreaking research study with implications for every sector of society, including the workplace. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study linked childhood trauma to a higher risk of chronic disease, addiction, social and emotional problems, depression, suicidality, and violence (both as a perpetrator and a victim) – all of which have an impact on businesses of all sizes in many different areas of operations.
As organizations, agencies and employers across the country are becoming more aware of the impact of ACEs, they are integrating trauma-informed and resilience-based practices into their culture to combat the business impact of these experiences on the workforce.
According to a research study published in The Permanente Journal, "The long-term effects of adverse childhood experiences on the workforce impose major human and economic costs that are preventable. These costs merit attention from the business community in conjunction with specialists in occupational medicine and public health."
At this seminar, Steve Stone will share how understanding the ACE study can help your organization’s bottom line.
Join us to learn about the economic impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences in the workforce.
