EAST WINDSOR, NJ, UNITED STATES, June 1, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — New Jersey Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (NJAAP) is working in partnership with Safe & Sound’s Center for Youth Wellness (CYW) to address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in pediatric practices. The Trauma-Informed ACEs Screening & Intervention Evaluation Project ECHO (TASIE Project) is a 3-year initiative through a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant. They are seeking Request for Proposal (RFP) Applications for Cohort 3 from pediatric practices across the United States.
“As a pediatrician, I was aware of the importance of screening for ACEs to better understand the needs of those I serve. The TASIE Project took this further by helping our practice support our families both with educational handouts and resources, which has been well received by our patients,” stated pediatrician and Cohort 1 participant Puthenmadam Radhakrishnan, MD, MPH, FAAP of Bellevue Pediatrics.
The CYW and NJAAP team are working together to educate pediatric healthcare teams with a trauma-informed approach to implement an ACEs screening and intervention pilot using the Pediatric ACEs and Life Events Screener (PEARLS) tool. In addition, the practice sites participate in a 9-month Quality Improvement Project ECHO.
“We know a lot of our families have experienced trauma or significant adversity. Even when families don’t feel comfortable disclosing the total number of ACEs their children have endured, the TASIE project provides a way to initiate a conversation around stress and resilience,” said pediatrician and Cohort 1 participant Julia Lane Mitchell, MD, FAAP of Smoketown Family Wellness Center.
Pediatric practices selected for Cohort 3 will receive a $15,000 stipend along with CMC/MOC Points. The RFP Application for Cohort 3 will open on June 8th, 2023. Applications will be due on July 21st, 2023. Interested pediatric practices should visit the “TASIE Project” website (www.njaap.org/tasie) for eligibility requirements, important dates, and informational webinars.
