Guest Speaker: Jessica Richards, LCSW

This presentation informs Resource Families how early experiences affect the way infants’ brains are wired; how the lack of attuned relationships and stimulating environments have a lasting impact on children; what developing brains need not just to survive, but to thrive; and how to identify and address signals that indicate how children are handling stressful situations. The intention of this workshop is to provide scientific background and guidelines for interventions that best meet the needs of these children and offer a better understanding of how children affected by trauma behave and give practical ideas of how to support them.
