Summary

This trial is studying whether a combination of different types of support can improve outcomes for children with ACEs. Families with children between the ages of 3 and 11 who have recently seen a pediatrician are invited to participate.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 3-11 who have experienced adverse childhood events (ACEs) and are generally healthy. They must have recently had a well-child visit at a participating clinic. Children with significant congenital medical issues, those outside the age range, siblings already in the study, or those enrolled in a parenting program within the last year cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The 'Building Resilient Families' trial tests a Three-Tier Model intervention to help families with ACEs by using pediatricians, community health workers, and parenting educators trained in resilience-building curriculum. It's a randomized controlled trial comparing this model against usual care to see if it reduces toxic stress and improves health outcomes over time.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves educational and support services rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be emotional or psychological impacts from discussing sensitive topics which will be monitored throughout the study.
