Promoting Positive Childhood Experiences: Through the Lens of the Neurosequential Model in Early Childhood Education.
Parts 1, 2, and 3 build upon each other. Children’s mental health training provides early childhood educators an opportunity to better understand the impact of childhood trauma and how to implement strategies to prevent or reduce the effects. Through building nurturing relationships, providing positive experiences, and offering safe environments for children to live, play, and learn, individuals can contribute to the healthy development and well being of all children in our community.
- Part 1: Toxic stress, often precipitated by adversity in childhood, is the body’s response to lasting and serious stress. This type of stress affects how the brain and the body grow and develop, often causing lifelong behavioral and physical health issues. Join us to learn how Adverse Childhood Experiences may have impacted your life personally, those whom you love, or those whom you work with.
- In Part 2, participants will learn ‘why’ adversity, especially in the early stages of development, creates the foundation for all future growth.
- In Part 3, participants will address the question, “So, now what?” Participants will be introduced to primary concepts of the Neurosequential Model in Education to start creating relationships and environments where all children can flourish.
