Navigating Healthcare Challenges of Children in Foster Care (feat. Texas Children's Hospital)
We know from ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) research that child abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction are linked to increased risk for poor social, emotional, and physical health outcomes. The Division of Public Health Pediatrics at Texas Children's Hospital was established in 2015 to prevent and mitigate childhood adversities and to provide care for our community’s most vulnerable children.
Dr. Christopher Greeley and Diane Kaulen join us to discuss the medical and mental/behavioral challenges experienced by families involved with the foster care system. We also explore how trauma affects physical health, and how our community can work together to ensure that our city's most vulnerable children can access the resources they need to thrive.
Guests:
Dr. Christopher Greeley, Chief of Public Health Pediatrics Division, Texas Children's Hospital & Vice Chair of Community Health, Baylor College of Medicine
Diane Kaulen, Sr. Community Initiatives Coordinator, Texas Children's Hospital
