- The impact of childhood and adult trauma on chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, autoimmune disorders, and mental health.
- How tools like the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) questionnaire can be integrated into clinical practice to improve diagnosis, rapport, and outcomes.
- Why trauma-informed care doesn’t require being a therapist—but does require recognizing suffering and offering pathways to healing through referrals and compassionate dialogue.
