“…Child support recovery bureaus within state Departments of Human Services (DHS) are responsible for administering and monitoring child support payments and reaching federal benchmarks on paternity establishment for unwed mothers. These programs have evolved to provide broad aid to schools, parents, and families to ensure safe and supported children (Lee et al, 2020; Weems et al, 2020).…”

“…As part of a statewide effort to educate youth, the Iowa Attorney General’s Office partnered with the Iowa DHS and Iowa State University’s Child Welfare Research and Training Project (CWRTP) to develop and provide this programming to middle and high schools. CWRTP mobilizes expert knowledge by providing direct translational research programming and program evaluation (see Weems et al, 2020). This partnership offers an opportunity to directly deliver neuroscience informed skills to prevent and ameliorate the effects of TRACEs+ in direct partnership with government agencies, community schools, and scientists working together.…”

Imaging methods have elucidated several neurobiological correlates of traumatic and adverse experiences in childhood. This knowledge base may foster the development of programs and policies that aim to build resilience and adaptation in children and youth facing adversity. Translation of this research requires both effective and accurate communication of the science. This review begins with a discussion of integrating the language used to describe and identify childhood adversity and their outcomes to clarify the translation of neurodevelopmental findings. An integrative term, Traumatic and Adverse Childhood Experiences (TRACEs+) is proposed, alongside a revised adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) pyramid that emphasizes that a diversity of adverse experiences may lead to a common outcome and that a diversity of outcomes may result from a common adverse experience. This term facilitates linkages between the ACEs literature and the emerging neurodevelopmental knowledge surrounding the effect of traumatic adverse childhood experiences on youth in terms of the knowns and unknowns about neural connectivity in youth samples. How neuroscience findings may lead directly or indirectly to specific techniques or targets for intervention and the reciprocal nature of these relationships is addressed. Potential implications of the neuroscience for policy and intervention at multiple levels are illustrated using existing policy programs that may be informed by (and inform) neuroscience. The need for transdisciplinary models to continue to move the science to action closes the article.
