![Page 7: Welcome [nhchc.org]...Engaging Homeless Youth: Recommendations and Resources July 29, 2015 We will begin promptly at 1 pm EST Event Host Juli Hishida Project Manager National Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050508/5f99a8dca21466079e3dd162/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Defining Youth • No standard definition of homeless youth • For the project we used ages 12-24. • Pathways (ex. Familial rejection, intergenerational
homelessness, aging out of foster care, MH/BH issues, etc.)
• Sub-groups/sub-populations (ex. LGBTQ, accompanied or unaccompanied, youth who are pregnant or parenting, youth involved in the juvenile justice or foster care systems, victims of sexual trafficking and exploitation.)
• Newly vs chronically homeless • Youth’s perception of homelessness
![Page 8: Welcome [nhchc.org]...Engaging Homeless Youth: Recommendations and Resources July 29, 2015 We will begin promptly at 1 pm EST Event Host Juli Hishida Project Manager National Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050508/5f99a8dca21466079e3dd162/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Defining and Measuring Engagement
• successful engagement
• no standard measure
• Levels of engagement
– high-level meaning “into systems or programs”
– individual level such as engagement with an individual
service provider, with treatment goals, or with activity at
hand.
![Page 9: Welcome [nhchc.org]...Engaging Homeless Youth: Recommendations and Resources July 29, 2015 We will begin promptly at 1 pm EST Event Host Juli Hishida Project Manager National Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050508/5f99a8dca21466079e3dd162/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Defining and Measuring Engagement
• Who is the target population?
• What will the consumer be engaged in?
• How can this be measured?
• What skills and information need to be possessed by the one attempting to engage the youth?
• How is core-level engagement being addressed?

Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES)
POLL
• I’m not familiar with the ACES.
• I’ve come across it before in my line of work, but not very
familiar with it.
• I am somewhat familiar with the ACES and would like to learn
more as it relates to my work.
• I am very familiar with the ACE Study and its implications on
my work.
![Page 11: Welcome [nhchc.org]...Engaging Homeless Youth: Recommendations and Resources July 29, 2015 We will begin promptly at 1 pm EST Event Host Juli Hishida Project Manager National Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050508/5f99a8dca21466079e3dd162/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Adverse Childhood Experiences Study
• The study examined the relationship between trauma experienced between ages 0-18 and health outcomes in adulthood.
• Relationship between the number of trauma experienced in childhood and the increased number of risk factors for several leading causes of death in adulthood.
• Prevention strategies for decreasing adult risk factors and diseases that
were identified in the ACES include 1) prevention of adverse experiences in childhood 2) prevention of the adoption of unhealthy coping strategies 3) changing these risk behaviors and decreasing the disease burden
among adults.

Trauma-Informed Care
• Addresses many of the serious negative consequences highlighted in ACES.
• Education and practice – Increasing awareness – Understanding behavioral coping strategies – Psychosocial assessments – Anticipatory guidance – Increase in physician training to best address trauma
and its long-term health impact

ACES and Engagement
• Other studies and research
• Homeless youth ACE scores – Physician Trust Scale scores
– Adult Attachment Scale scores
• Common themes identified were – reported experiences of adult perpetrated trauma
