The second story in our Building Brighter Futures series focuses on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and strategies that can counter their effects and help children and families build resiliency against them. By turning pediatric well-visits into check-ups on whole family well-being, the Supporting Families Growing Together program at MaineHealth is a great example.
“Ultimately, the intended outcome of this model is to increase family connections to each other, decrease family stress, and support parents to be the best they can be for their children — so that, in this rapid phase of development, children can flourish and be set on a pathway for good health.”
