​Santa Barbara was privileged to receive multiple community engagement opportunities
– both private and open-to-the-public - by physician, author and activist Dr. Nadine Burke
Harris on April 16 and 17, 2018. Events and sessions included her public lecture --Healing
Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity -- to over 1,000 attendees at UCSB plus Live
Streaming of the talk via A&L’s Facebook page; Grand Medical Rounds with more than
70 physicians and healthcare workers at Cottage Hospital; a dinner with philanthropists
devoted to investing in preventative childhood health education and interventions; and
a transformational Thematic Learning Initiative cross-sector working session with 40
providers at the offices of the District Attorney of Santa Barbara.

The April 16 TLI session at the DA’s conference room established important connections
and movement towards a community-wide effort to educate and train through
collaboration, expand the Resiliency Project pilot at the SB Neighborhood Clinics, and
identified actionable follow-ups by participating services. The 40 participants in the
round-table discussion with Dr. Burke Harris included representatives and directors
from Cen Cal Health, CALM, several health-based Santa Barbara County departments,
Family Service Agency, Cottage Population Health, SB Unified School District, the Santa
Barbara Probation Department, Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, Community
Action Commission, Carpinteria Resource Center, Office of the Public Defender,
American Indian Health & Services, several foundations and other organizations. The
dialogue with Dr. Burke Harris was led by Ed McKinley, Kids Network Director Barb Finch
and the JS Bower Foundation President, Jon Clark.
​
Clear objectives were determined and prepared for each session by a small planning
group committed to turning Dr. Burke Harris’ visit into a catalyzing opportunity to
propel Adverse Childhood Effects (ACEs) strategies and awareness in Santa Barbara
County. These goals included accelerating community-wide embrace of a childhood
trauma lens through which to address social, educational, health and criminal justice
issues. Wide-ranging and effective outreach efforts encouraging attendance at the
public lecture were made to help educate the broadest possible cross section of the
community on the role of childhood trauma in adult health and other community issues,
as well as to communicate widespread support for the ACEs approach.

The Grand Rounds session at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on the morning of April 17
highlighted to importance of including ACEs screening by pediatricians as a standard
part of a wellness and health protocols as well as encouraging healthcare professionals
to become advocates for a trauma-informed approach to physical and mental well-being
across all sectors of the medical establishment.
