Strong Families
The Strong Families Team, led by Dr. Andrea Gonzalez at McMaster University, examines the impact of early-life adversity on child development and family health. Their focus includes research aimed at understanding how childhood trauma affects development and overall health, how risks are transmitted between generations, evaluating preventive parenting interventions, and addressing engagement barriers in traditional services, particularly for diverse communities. Overall, their work aims to provide insights that can lead to better outcomes for children and families by sharing findings with knowledge users and community service providers.
