Dr. Nadine Burke Harris is a physician who began utilizing the ACE scores, Adverse Childhood Experiences, in her pediatric clinic after seeing a young patient who was not thriving. This is a must-read if you do not yet know what the ACE score is or if you want stunning language that explains the long-term impact of overwhelming childhoods over a lifespan. One day, we will look back at this time as an emerging time filled with books, such as this one, The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity, that have the potential to guide us in changing our schools, policing, and prisons, and, every large system that interacts with all of our communities.
