Examining the Influence of Family Resilience on Adverse Childhood Experiences’ Impact on Health and Academic Outcomes

Abstract

The purpose of this quantitative study is to examine the influence of family resilience on the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on child health and academic outcomes. The researchers examine nine models corresponding to the outcome's variables. Overall, our study's results show that family resilience is an essential factor in achieving better physical and mental health outcomes for children, and its impact is generally consistent across levels of ACEs. The influence on academic outcomes is less robust; however, family resilience is an essential factor in producing more fully engaged students regardless of their ACEs. Results and professional implications discussed.
