Join our clinical trial for ACEs support after emergency care.

Phase N/A

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are tough events that happen to kids and can affect their health for a long time. This study helps families connect to mental health resources when visiting the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED). The aim is to see if children with high ACEs have better follow-up rates when given a telehealth option, as just setting up in-person meetings isn't always effective.

Children ages 12-17 and their guardians in the PED will fill out a short survey on a tablet while waiting for treatment. If a child's score is 2 or higher, the family will be contacted to arrange therapy services. The therapy could be through in-person visits or online telehealth sessions. A few months later, families will be contacted again to see if they started their mental health treatment. This will help improve future treatments.

  • This study involves a simple 10-minute survey.
  • Families may receive therapy either in-person or via telehealth.
  • Only children aged 12-17 who speak and read English are eligible.
