one of the best approaches for helping doctors who care for patients with ACEs and toxic stress (which, statistically speaking, is every single doctor in America) is integrated behavioral health services. That simply means having mental-health services available at the pediatrician’s (or primary-care clinician’s) office. Later I would find out that this was an emerging best practice, one now being endorsed by just about every national health-care oversight agency, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
