Breaking the Cycle: ACEs, Trauma, and Utah’s Path to Healthier Children

Panel Discussion/Presentation

A research‑based conversation with Utah leaders/experts on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the impact of trauma, and new initiatives. Utah is taking a historic step to confront childhood trauma and its lifelong impact. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are linked to 9 of the 10 leading causes of death in the U.S., and ACE data show that 65.7% of Utah adults have experienced at least one ACE, while 1 in 4 have experienced three or more. These early adversities shape mental health, physical health, educational outcomes, and long‑term economic stability. Childhood trauma — particularly sexual abuse — is far more common than many realize and often goes unnoticed or unaddressed. We’ll be joined by three leading experts — Dr. R. Neal Davis, Holly Willard, and Dr. Brooks Keeshin — who will explore the science, clinical realities, and community impact of ACEs and childhood trauma. After their discussion, Sage Hancock, Executive Director of GenerationAll, will close the webinar by introducing Utah’s Healing Generations initiative, the first statewide ACE screening pilot of its kind.

Blue Plate Research

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Blue Plate Research brings together state and community decision-makers with premier researchers to explore the health and well-being challenges facing Utah. The presentation events focus on sharing easy-to-understand research with Utah’s health advocates, statewide stakeholders, and the general public. The December event will feature Dr. Aryn Kamerer, an Assistant Professor and Researcher of Audiology at USU. Dr. Kamerer is working to improve how hearing is tested and understood. Many of the hearing tests used today are based on methods developed in the 1800s and still rely heavily on trial and error and a doctor's interpretation. By combining EEG technology, brainwave analysis, and AI-driven tools, her research focuses on developing more accurate and reliable ways to measure hearing, understand how the brain processes sound, and identify hearing-related conditions. This event is co-sponsored by the USU Office of Research and Regence.

Tradwives, Secret Lives, and Housewives: How Utah’s Real Cultural Norms Shape Women’s Lives

Panel Discussion/Presentation

A research‑based conversation on how Utah’s cultural norms shape women’s lives, body image, and power—and how we can create change. Utah women and girls are exposed to the same media, influencers, and cultural messages as women across the nation — yet the pressures they experience around beauty, body image, modesty, marriage, and gender expectations often feel uniquely intense. Why? What is it about Utah’s cultural, social, and religious environment that magnifies these dynamics? And how do these norms shape women’s lives, opportunities, relationships, and sense of self?
