Register here.
While many early childhood frameworks have focused primarily on the healthy development of children, an emerging framework named known as “early relational health” stresses the importance of nurturing the broader human ecosystem around babies and toddlers as well. We explore key principles that can guide practitioners and leaders on the front lines of education, health, and social services.

Kids growing up in neighborhoods affected by violence often experience persistent traumatic stress, which, through no fault of their own, can impact their learning, development, and mental health. In this episode, we explore a social-emotional learning approach that promotes self-esteem and offers a holistic view of recovery for young people of color managing that kind of trauma while also creating positive conditions for academic achievement. Sign up for aconversation about the practice of healing-centered engagement.
