Burned out, tired of a toxic workplace, looking to join the Great Resignation, or, if you’re an employer, looking for ways to prevent a mass exodus and retain valued employees? Either way you’re not alone.

The association between ACEs and epigenetic age acceleration in the Canadian longitudinal study on aging. ([link removed])
Aging Cell. 2023:e13779. PMID: 36650913 ([link removed])
For 1445 Canadian study participants aged 45-85 years, cumulative ACE score, childhood exposure to parental separation or divorce, and emotional abuse were each associated with higher “DNAm GrimAge” which estimates risk of accelerated mortality, after adjusting for other adversities and covariates.

Child Maltreatment During School and Childcare Closure Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. ([link removed])
Child Maltreat. 2023 Feb;28(1):13-23. PMID: 35105228 ([link removed])
“Based on reports of childcare professionals and primary and secondary school teachers (N = 444) in the Netherlands, “The prevalence of emotional neglect was found to be three times higher during the lockdown…and was reflected in overall emotional neglect as well as for two main subtypes of emotional neglect: educational neglect and witnessing domestic violence. No significant differences were found for other types of child maltreatment. Most of the reported cases of maltreatment were already problematic before the lockdown and became worse during the lockdown.”

Coping Strategies in Women and Children Living with Domestic Violence: Staying Alive. ([link removed])
J Fam Violence. 2023:1-13. PMID: 36685751 ([link removed])
Interviews with 30 Canadian mothers who experienced severe or potentially life-threatening domestic violence and 5 adults who experienced domestic violence in childhood revealed five major themes: ongoing communication, appeasing the abuser, soothing activities, exposure reduction, and fostering independence. “Mothers and their children worked together to reassure each other, keep each other safe, and made plans to leave their abuser. Safety planning for the mother-child dyad could build on children's existing coping strategies and recognize and support children's desire to protect their mother and themselves effectively and safely according to their developmental stage.”

The association between childhood trauma and overweight and obesity in young adults: the mediating role of food addiction. ([link removed])
Eat Weight Disord. 2022 Dec;27(8):3257-3266. PMID: 35907144 ([link removed])
Of 512 UK young adults, “experiences of childhood trauma are associated with the development of overweight and obesity during early adulthood and up to half of this relationship can be attributed to food addiction, which is likely used as a maladaptive coping mechanism in response to trauma. Young adults living with overweight and obesity who report experiences of childhood trauma may benefit from the support of clinical and counselling psychologists to improve their understanding of the underlying psychosocial factors that influence their eating behaviours.”
