Name
Trauma-Informed Screening in Inpatient Rehabilitation: Linking ACEs, Protective Experiences, and Social Determinants to Patient Outcomes
Description

This session presents findings from a study integrating adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), protective experiences (PACEs), and social determinants of health (SDoH) screening in inpatient rehabilitation. Results highlight how protective experiences predict resilience, while adversity and psychological distress relate to poorer quality of life. Attendees will learn how to interpret trauma-related screening data within a socio-ecological framework and apply findings in team-based care. Practical strategies for integrating behavioral health into rehabilitation settings will be demonstrated. This session emphasizes actionable approaches to advancing whole-person, trauma-informed care.
