Hello and welcome. I am Dr. Gina Touch Mercer, a licensed psychologist and the Behavioral Sciences Curriculum Director at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix, Arizona. I invite you to this talk on Adverse Childhood Experiences, Health, Culture, and Epigenetics.
0:26
In this talk, I will focus on two of the six core domains of behavioral medicine, highlighting the impact of culture, history, society, and family on health and health behavior, and the integration of mind and body in illness and health.

Before I begin, I would like to introduce this talk with a cautionary note or trigger warning. When topics of early life adversity or trauma are discussed, this may bring up uncomfortable or unwanted reactions for some listeners, especially those who have experienced significant trauma or who have post-traumatic stress disorder. While never intended to bring up these reactions, if you are troubled in any way during this talk, I hope you will use your most adaptive coping strategies and rely on your support system, your own internal resilience, and that you would be inspired to apply the knowledge and insights you gain to your professional role.
