Trauma and Preschool-aged Children: Implications for Early Childhood Mental Health and Early Childhood Education

Presenter:

Brenda Jones Harden, PhD is the Alison Richman Professor for Children & Families, at the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Social Work. She directs the Prevention and Early Adversity Research Laboratory, where she and her research team examine the developmental and mental health needs of young children at environmental risk, particularly those who have been maltreated or have experienced other forms of trauma. A particular focus is preventing maladaptive outcomes in these populations through early childhood programs. She has conducted numerous evaluations of such programs, including early care and education, home visiting services, parenting interventions, and infant mental health programs. Dr. Jones Harden is a scientist-practitioner who uses research to improve the quality and effectiveness of child and family services and to inform child and family policy.
