Maryland Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics
$144,960 / 2018 / Health and Human Services
In response to studies showing long-lasting, damaging effects of exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs, the Maryland Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics developed an intervention designed to support low-income parents of young children and to protect their children from exposure to ACEs. The intervention, known as TREE (for Talk, Read, Engage, Encourage) promotes positive parent-child interactions, which have been shown to mitigate the effects of ACEs. The TREE program includes video and print materials that encourage parents to talk, read and play with their young children, and are designed to be used by pediatricians during routine well-child visits. This grant supports the implementation and evaluation of the TREE program.
