7. In the decade since the first AAP policy statement and technical report on childhood toxic stress were published, even more evidence has accumulated that: What happens in childhood does not stay in childhood.186,187 Adverse experiences in childhood are not destiny, but for many children, significant adversity bends life-course trajectories for the worse. Part 1 - Overview of Developmental Domains, Periods, and Theories a. Domains of Development b.
PHIL 101 Notes - Society - Social Contract Theory: The social - Studocu For example, expanding family leave policies154 could reduce family stress and promote positive childhood experiences. Tertiary preventions in the toxic stress framework are focused on the evidence-based practices that treat toxic stress-related morbidities such as anxiety, depression, oppositional defiant disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse disorder. This public health approach to relational health needs to be integrated both vertically (by including primary, secondary, and tertiary preventions) and horizontally (by including public service sectors beyond health care). Consequently, the challenge is not only to prevent a broad spectrum of adversities from occurring but also to prevent them from becoming barriers to the SSNRs that allow individuals from across the spectrum of adversity to be resilient and flourish despite the adversity.17,58,59. The 3 principles described above, each of which is grounded in the research literature, provide a science-based framework for developing innovative strategies to promote SSNRs at the dyadic level, family level, and community level. University of Utah, Department of Psychology, College of Social & Behavioral Science. To promote SSNRs at the practice level, both financial incentives (eg, payment reforms) and enhanced training needs to be provided.162,163 Pediatric providers should be afforded the following: (1) sufficient time with patients and families, (2) the benefit of long-term continuity with patients and families, and (3) opportunities to learn about and practice the interpersonal and communication skills needed to form respectful, trusted, and collaborative therapeutic relationships.162 For parents to trust, pediatric providers need to listen and understand parental concerns and beliefs before making recommendations. culturally effective: the family and child's culture, language, beliefs, and traditions are recognized, valued, and respected.

Emphasizing that the vertical integration of this public health approach or the layering of primary, secondary, and tertiary preventions and/or interventions is necessary because the heterogeneity of responses to adversity seen at the population level will need to be addressed through a menu of programs that are layered and matched to specific levels of individual need (universal preventions, plus targeted interventions for those at risk, plus indicated therapies for those with symptoms or diagnoses).

Intimate Partner Violence Exposure in Early Childhood: An A public health approach to promoting relational health should also be integrated horizontally (or across sectors) at the local level.81,82,148 SSNRs are easier to form when safe, stable, and nurturing families are able to live in safe, stable, and nurturing communities.124,149,150 The FCPMH is ideally placed to educate families about what a safe, stable, and nurturing family environment looks like for a child, but doing so will require changes at the provider and practice levels (see Table 2).

Thinking Developmentally: The Next Evolution in Models of Health Traumatic and stressful events in early childhood: can treatment help those at highest risk? For children deemed to be at high risk for toxic stress responses, potential barriers to relational health need to be identified and addressed through team-based care144 and collaborative community partnerships (eg, food banks,145,146 medical-legal partnerships147). The Ecobiodevelopmental Theory model of Shonkoff is associated directly to other theoretical models of human development. The mechanism offers an explanation for the historical trauma.
"An Ecobiodevelopmental Framework and Food Insecurity" by Andrew S. Garner Secondary preventions in the relational health framework are focused on identifying the potential individual, family, and community barriers to SSNRs by developing respectful and caring therapeutic relationships with patients, families, and communities. The use of trusted, supportive relationships within the FCPMH to promote the relational health of families is an emerging focal point for pediatric clinical research, and pediatric primary care is increasingly seen as a venue for fostering social-emotional health.193,194 These universal primary prevention strategies form the base of the public health pyramid (Fig 1 and Table 2), but additional, layered interventions that recognize and address child-level (eg, delays in development and a biological sensitivity to context), family-level (eg, poverty and parent mental illness), and community-level (eg, racism and violence) barriers to SSNRs may also be required for some families, whereas others will need even more intensive, evidence-based treatments (eg, ABC, PCIT, CPP, TF-CBT) to repair relationships that are already strained or compromised. Bronfenbrenner's theory explains that there are certain cultural and social factors in the immediate environment of a child affect child development and experience. Conversely, a solution-focused approach would focus on relational health15 (see the Appendix for a glossary of terms, concepts, and abbreviations) by promoting the safe, stable, and nurturing relationships (SSNRs) that turn off the bodys stress machinery in a timely manner.1,16,17 Even more importantly, a strengths-based, relational health framework leverages those SSNRs to proactively promote the skills needed to respond to future adversity in a healthy, adaptive manner.16,18,19 The power of relational health is that it not only buffers adversity when it occurs but also proactively promotes future resilience.
