Abstract
A trauma-informed, peer-led group-based parenting intervention was offered through an early learning center for caregivers of children ages birth through five. Thirty Black caregivers (86% female; age range =21-44) participated across the five parenting groups. Engagement levels and pre-post findings provided preliminary evidence of acceptability and efficacy of the intervention.
