Infant and Early Child Mental Health

In this program from the Focus on Family and Disability series, you’ll explore the impact of trauma and adversity on young children, from infancy through preschool age. The presenter will use didactic as well as vignette to illustrate ways in which children are affected by trauma, do remember, and can be supported in communicating about — and healing from — their experiences.
