Thank you Dr. Nadine for your work in advocating for survivors of adverse childhood experiences and getting public health discourse into mainstream medical & healthcare discussions. Sincerely, a nursing student from Boston 💛
It is absolutely AMAZING how informed she is on ACEs, toxic stress, and neuroscience. Entering into this field has felt so natural for me, but listening to Dr. Burke-Harris has helped me understand that I have only scratched the surface. I know I listened to her about a year ago, but it never gets old. Listening to her has made my entire Sunday afternoon. From the TED Talk to youtube interviews. I cannot wait to be apart of any initiatives she has going on. I'm SO ready!!!! I feel like all my research has led me to her. She REALLY gets it as far as solutions and Health Equity...and the importance of Behavioral Science, specifically in African American communities and mental health. What leadership! Newsome outdid himself with this choice right here. Excellence.
Glen, I agree. Few victims of childhood abuse ever hear such validation. We are the forgotten but also marginalized ones. And as someone who is no longer young, I can tell you my ACE score of 7 is impacting me still.
@@jx14aby I'm not a male and never had children so I will leave that to other's to deal with and attempt to make changes. I have too many of my own struggles to overcome. Can't take on another burden.
@@jx14aby , replying with the same comment to all the other comments, it's obviously something you feel strongly - but what makes you think she's unaware of this issue or unconcerned? This was an interview conducted on the general theme of how to address ALL ACEs effectively; highlighting one in particular may be appropriate in a different context, but in terms of a ten-year policy overview it would relegate the rest to a lower level of importance. Personally, I agree that circumcision of male and female genitals is a form of sexual abuse, yet there are many other forms of sexual abuse as well, and many other sources of trauma children are exposed to. I suggest you have another look at her TED Talk - or if you haven't seen it yet that you make it a priority. I suggest that you then start thinking about what contribution you'd be able to make which addresses the healing of trauma. If your impact on public awareness is one tenth of Dr Nadine's, you'll have done a brilliant job.
I just have to say that I find it very disrespectful as a woman raised in a black community, when any one speaks on issues of the African American Community and the response to how to resolve the conflicts in that community is always another community and their disparities. What is that about? I just had a Caucasian woman do the same exact thing in another forum. It's like saying "all lives matter" when discussing that black lives matter. Its very annoying and highly disrespectful. WE know that the majority of the population in California is Latino and immigrant, the interviewer didn't have to highlight that tidbit about herself as if to block or divert away from the community that was spotlighted to discuss if the 1st US Surgeon General who is clearly black/a woman of color is stating that she isn't seeing a high response like she wants from the black community and what she thinks are the efforts possible to see more efficacy centered around that issue. I just had to point that out as a woman of color myself.... Latinos and White people, please take your diversity training to the next level with White fragility centered around racism with the progressive efforts from Dr. Robin DiAgngelo...cuz i'm sick and tired of the overt racism in times like these... we don't need it. Especially not on these pointed issues that seem to want to include people of color namely the BLACK/African American community rather than ostracize it.

Her ACE's TedX talk is legendary....brilliant physician!
If she really was serious about reducing adverse childhood experience, she would be calling for an end to the circumcision of baby boys.

@@knit1purl1 - Do you consider circumcised males as victims of child abuse? Because there are millions of us.

This info is really needed to help all children live lives that are productive and safe! Thank you!

A smart appointment.Thanks.
