The Impact of Infant Mental Health and Culture Across the Lifespan

The webinar will provide an overview of infant mental health and culture across the lifespan.  Human beings thrive when they experience honest connection, protection, and reflection.  In this two-hour webinar, Dr. Stroud will define the relational activities that promote emotional health, build internal self-regulation, and support resilience.  These skills are necessary for work, life, and all relationships.  The life lessons we learn in the earliest years of development set a template for interpersonal learning and connection.
