Abstract
A trauma-informed, peer-led group-based parenting intervention was offered through an early learning center for Black caregivers of children ages birth through five. Nineteen caregivers (85% female; age range = 21-37) participated across three parenting groups. Engagement levels and pre-post findings provided preliminary evidence of acceptability and efficacy of the intervention.
