Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are difficult or scary events that happen when a person is young. These experiences can make a person sick or upset even when they grow up. Many kids who visit the pediatric emergency department (PED) have had ACEs. This study wants to see if kids do better with mental health help when they can talk to a therapist online (telehealth) instead of just going in person.

If you join this study, you and your parents will answer some questions on a tablet while you wait at the PED. This takes about 10 minutes. If your answers show that you've had a lot of ACEs, the study team will help you get therapy. You might get therapy in person or online. A few months later, the study team will check if you went to your therapy. This study helps us understand if therapy helps kids with ACEs.

• Study is for children aged 12-17 who speak English.
• Can't join if already in therapy or critically ill.
• Participation includes answering a short survey and possible therapy follow-up.
