Description and Objectives
Early adversity can have a serious impact on children’s development, with lifelong consequences. In the 2021 Goldson Lecture, Dr. Brenda Jones Harden (bio), Alison Richman Professor for Children and Families at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, will share her work on the impact of adversity on young children, particularly maltreated children, and will explore racial disparities in the outcomes of children experiencing early adversity. As a scientist-practitioner, Dr. Jones Harden has focused on the developmental needs of children who have been maltreated or have experienced other forms of trauma, with an interest in using this research to inform policy and practice, with respect to preventative interventions.
This lecture will address the impact of adversity on young children, particularly maltreated children. Racial disparities in the outcomes of children experiencing early adversity will be explored. Building on the tenets of prevention science, programs to prevent children’s maladaptive outcomes and to support the well-being of their families will be described.
Objectives: By attending, participants will be able to
- identify the health, developmental, and mental health consequences of early adversity on young children, especially maltreated children.
- describe the family and community contexts that lead to adversity in the lives of young children.
- explore racial disparities in the outcomes of young children exposed to adversity.
- review the evidence-based programs that have been found to prevent maladaptive outcomes for children and families exposed to adversity.
