On April 18th from 10:00am - 12:00pm Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, California’s inaugural Surgeon General, will join the LA Partnership to describe the state of early childhood trauma in California.
With Dr. Burke Harris’ leadership as Surgeon General, California developed a national model to screen and treat children for adverse childhood experiences, otherwise known as ACEs. As a result, more than 1.5 million California children have been screened thus far, with Medical providing coverage for those pediatric visits.
Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Nadine Burke Harris as she shares more about the success of the program and describes what more needs to be accomplished to sustain and expand California’s role as a national leader in treating early childhood trauma.
