Meets every 3rd Friday of the Month

** No Meetings in June, July & December**

Ongoing training and support will be provided on positive discipline, the importance of brain structure and development in early childhood, and how to care for babies in the Child Welfare System.

Group Leader: MaryAnn Paschal

Topic: It is important to know, developmental milestones are not met by age; they are developed by experiences. For children who have experienced abuse and neglect, emotional, social, cognitive and physical development may be delayed due to a lack of care and interaction. In this series, we will look at development within 6 age groups. What it should look like, how you can help with development and the resources available to help.

• First Year- the first year of life is crucial to brain development. Let’s talk about how to meet the needs of our infants.
