-The stress response is overstimulated
and is not able to regulate normally
-Disrupts normal brain wiring and
architecture in important areas such
as the amygdala, hippocampus, and
prefrontal cortex
-Long periods of exposure to high
cortisol levels especially before age 2
leads to negative consequences on
physical and mental health
-Damage to the hippocampus worsens
reaction to stress in the future
What does toxic stress do?

increases in stress hormones

What is resiliency?
-How we deal with the problems
or set backs in our life
-Resiliency comes naturally to
some but it can also be learned
-Using your skills and strengths
to turn negatives into positives
-Protective factors reduce the
effects of adverse experiences
It can be improved at
any age!!

Asking the Questions
-Does your child have any behavior changes
seemingly without cause (trouble sleeping or
changes in school performance)?
-Has anyone come or gone from the household
lately?
-Has the child had stomach pains, headaches, or
other somatic complaints?
-Has your child ever witnessed anyone being harmed
in the home or in the community?
-We talk more about violence and its effect on
children’s health…….

Call to action
1. Begin to assess patients and their families in the context of
what their ACES score may be
2. Ask the hard questions-obesity, abdominal pain, somatic
complaints, headaches
“Talking to you about what has happened in your life
helps me take better care of your health”
3. Understand that children under toxic stress have differences in
the hard wiring of their brains and this will manifest in their
behavior and school performance
4. Foster resiliency in your patients and all children
5. Praise foster parents and kinship care providers
6. Become an active child advocate
