Event Details

Toxic stress responses begin to explain how significant adversity in childhood becomes biologically embedded and influences behavior, learning and health outcomes across the lifespan. In this era of significant adversity (a global pandemic, racial tensions, economic disparities, political polarization), it is important to understand what the science of toxic stress does and does not say about the impact of all this adversity on children. More importantly a new, strengths-based framework is needed to clarify how to build healthy, resilient children in the face of such adversity.

Learning Objectives:

Define toxic stress and describe how it helps to elucidate “the problem.”

Define relational health and describe how it helps to elucidate “the solution.”

Define at least three components of an integrated public health approach to build relational health.

Presenter: Andrew Garner, MD, PhD, FAAP | Primary Care Pediatrician Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine Rainbow Babies & Children Pediatrics

Event Details

Being discharged from the hospital is a vulnerable time for families and caregivers of children with special health care needs (CSHCN). Appropriate resources and support are essential for care at home and can prevent complications or readmission. The California-based Nurse-led Discharge Learning (CANDLE) Collaborative brings together interdisciplinary clinicians to improve discharge care delivery for CSHCN. Learn about two new discharge practices: closed-loop medication reconciliation and tailored medication teaching, and multidisciplinary discharge rounds with early discharge notification. Speakers will share how these innovative practices can be integrated into existing clinical workflows. Audience Q&A is highly encouraged.
