Abstract
Higher rates of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) among Native American populations can be attributed to historical and contemporary traumas stemming from colonization and ongoing discrimination. On the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, six Head Start centers serve over 300 children, Head Start is a federally funded program promoting school readiness for preschool children from low-income families. Tribal Head Start teachers report high levels of stress and depression as they work with children scoring high in ACEs. Teachers have requested support in managing their psychological health and well-being.
