Abstract

Adverse childhood experiences in very young children result in negative outcomes as trauma affects brain development. Within child welfare, early recognition of delayed social-emotional skills and treatment referral is essential in reducing the effects of trauma. This project implements an evidence-based, social-emotional screening protocol for young children in foster care.
