Panelists will discuss a guide for implementing best practices when addressing ACEs; tools to incorporate screening for ACEs, resilience and social determinants of health into primary care practice; approaches for assisting families; causes of staff burnout; and strategies for building a more resilient workforce.
Hosts:
- Howard A. Zucker, MD, JD – Commissioner, New York State Department of Health
