Coupon Codes: Description of Presentation: This session will explore how experiences of threat—such as fears related to immigration enforcement—can affect the well-being of young children and the adults who care for them. We will review core concepts in stress, trauma, and regulation to ground our understanding of what children and providers may be experiencing. Together, we will consider two central questions: - How can we support our own regulation while working with children in times of uncertainty and fear?
- How can we effectively support young children who may be experiencing stress, anxiety, or trauma related to threats in their families or communities?
Time permitting, we will open space for participants’ questions.
