Risk Factors Affecting Development: How to Support Resilience During Pregnancy and Early Childhood

This 3-hour 15-minute FREE virtual interactive seminar will explore risk factors that compromise brain development and impact developmental outcomes. We will then consider how coordinated social behavior is a marker of resilience. Finally, we will look at videos to understand more precisely the impact of risk factors, and review ways to support resilience through coordinated social behavior.
