"If We Do Nothing..."
The lasting effects of childhood trauma
Keynote Speaker:
Vincent J. Felitti, MD,
co-Principal Investigator of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study
Wednesday, May 12th
7:30 a.m.
The New Haven Lawn Club

Join us for our 8th Annual Builders of Hope Breakfast featuring Vincent J. Felitti, MD.

At Clifford Beers Clinic, we see the dramatic impact that trauma and violence have on children's mental health and their behavior. Until now, no one has examined the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (trauma) and its impact on adult health. The work of Dr. Felitti shows a direct correlation between chronic trauma exposure and the link to heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, smoking, and substance abuse. The ACE Study provides tangible proof of what happens to a child if we do nothing!

Tickets are $50.00 each. Sponsorship opportunities are available.

Post-Breakfast Panel Discussion:
