Determining Family Resilience with Dr. Jason Yaun, Medical Director of the Family Resilience Initiative at Le Bonheur Children’s Outpatient Clinic

Join me for an informative conversation with Dr. Jason Yaun. Dr. Yaun is the Medical Director of the Family Resilience Initiative (FRI) at Le Bonheur Children’s Outpatient Clinic in Memphis, Tennessee. The FRI is an initiative that aims to intervene with children and their families in the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) and Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs. The FRI serves families with children 9 months to 5 years of age. These families are connected with Outreach Coordinators as part of routine care and various interventions are implemented based on answers from the ACEs questionnaire. As part of the care, families may be connected with a psychologist or other services offered by Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital and other services available in Memphis and surrounding communities.

Dr. Yaun talks about the goals of the FRI and supporting families and “meeting them where they are” in their life and circumstance stage. The FRI is making connections for families and hopes to provide a model for other clinics to be able to follow.
