Attention Families and Providers. An important virtual seminar is being hosted this Saturday, September 14th, on the topic of Toxic Stress on small children. You can RSVP a spot in the seminar at: https://lnkd.in/eiGRp8SN. This training will provide an understanding of the impact of toxic stress on young children in early childhood and their level of functioning within their caregiving environment. By the end of this training, parents will learn the impact that toxic stress can have on young children in the absence of a protective relationship.
