Understanding Toxic Stress in Early Childhood Years

Description In supporting families, early interventionists must recognize family diversity and differences. Many families in the early system may look and sound different than providers; own families. This training will highlight the specific needs, challenges and strengths that families experiencing toxic stress face. These families are often involved in complex situations, which require skilled yet flexible attention. For example, many families are dealing with crowding, food scarcity, difficult living conditions, and emotional strains for which early interventionists many not be trained to address. In order to create a collaborative relationship between high stress families and service coordinators, this session will provide guidance on how to develop, implement, monitor and modify early intervention supports. This session will highlight strategies that early intervention personnel can use to work more effectively with families experiencing toxic stress.
