Thrive Initiative – April 10, 2025: Virtual Training with ZERO TO THREE

“Neurorelational Development“

This training is limited to 60 people. It will not be recorded. If the training fills up and there is a lengthy waiting list, we will consider scheduling a second session.

When: April 10, 2025, 10-11:30 AM

Where: Online

Who: Thrive participants and other professionals in our region working with young children and their families.

Program Description: A child’s brain undergoes an amazing period of development from birth to three, producing more than a million neural connections each second. This session provides participants with an understanding of how brain development occurs within the context of relationships in infancy and early childhood. Explore key concepts such as “mind-sight”, “serve & return”, experience dependency and expectancy, as they relate to neural development. Learn how the limbic system and executive functioning are mediated through relationships and experience. Finally, we will examine the impact of trauma and toxic stress on brain development.
