Transcript Welcome! [na4ps.files.wordpress.com]

Welcome to the second of a series of webinars for peer supporters. The content of
these webinars is drawn from the Recovery to Practice (RTP) project, a
SAMHSA-funded project to foster recovery in behavioral health professions.
This webinar series is presented by the International Association of Peer
Supporters (INAPS) with the generous assistance of OptumHealth, without whom
this series would not be possible.
INAPS is solely responsible for the content of the webinars.
The second webinar, Trauma-Informed Peer Support, will begin at noon, Eastern
Time Zone.
Thank you for your participation!

A comprehensive study of

Followed for many years
Tracked both physical and
mental conditions
The greater the number of
adverse childhood experiences
(trauma), the more frequent
were both physical and mental
health problems later in life.
Problems more frequent
among those with ACE include:
Depression
Diabetes
Earlier Death
The percentage of people who
receive public mental health
services who have been
exposed to trauma is about
90%!
