Caregivers’ experiences of being asked about adverse childhood experiences and receiving support from an integrated health and social care hub: a qualitative study
Consultations between caregivers and hub practitioners can effectively identify and address ACEs despite certain barriers. Establishing a trusting relationship where caregivers feel heard and supported is vital, highlighting the hub model's potential impact in Australia and similar contexts. Enhancing consultation duration, and service availability and accessibility may further improve caregivers' experiences in identifying and addressing adversity.
