Webinar: Reconnect for Better Days for Infant & Early Childhood Professionals
April 23 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
$25
| Join NCIMHA on April 23 via Zoom for this two-hour training designed for early childhood professionals that explores how stress impacts both young children and the adults who care for them. Grounded in the science of resilience, this session will examine how stress shows up in the brain and body, influences behavior, and shapes relationships. It will also highlight a core infant and early childhood mental health principle: when adults feel more regulated and supported, they are better able to offer the “headspace and heartspace” needed for attunement, serve-and-return interactions, and responsive caregiving that scaffolds healthy social-emotional development.
Together, attendees will learn to recognize signs of stress in themselves and in young children, and explore how ongoing or chronic stress can create cycles that feel hard to step out of—leaving us overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck on a kind of “merry-go-round” in our daily work. This session will help make sense of why this happens and, most importantly, what we can do about it. Building on the Reconnect for Better Days approach, participants will engage with simple, practical, body-based tools to interrupt these cycles, support regulation, and strengthen resilience. |
