How Music Enriches A Child’s Life: The Rhythm of Early Development
Training Description
In this 3-hour 15 minute FREE virtual seminar, participants will explore how music can help young children express themselves and share feelings, learn to empathize and trust others, reduce stress levels, and support brain integration. In addition, the seminar will provide a research review of music interventions to enhance dyadic therapy and improve attachment-related outcomes such as emotional co-regulation, mutual attunement, reflective functioning and parental sensitivity.
This training is for community behavioral health providers, CYFD staff, and other community stakeholders who work with children, youth, and families.
