Thinking Together in the Face of Fear: Helping Young Children Feel Safe—Even When Adults are Frightened
June 12; 4pm - 6pm Virtual

Very young children are exposed to stress and anxiety as a result of community violence (mass shootings; hate crimes; gang violence) even if they are not directly exposed to the violence itself. For those of us working with caregivers—parents, family members, teachers—it is crucial to understand the impacts of this type of stress; how to support caregivers to mitigate it; and how to regulate ourselves and other adults so we can be present as sturdy attachment figures.

Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) Feeding Scale

Alissa Copeland, MA, Parent-Child Interaction Scales Instructor

The Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) Feeding Scale is a valid and reliable clinical assessment tool used across disciplines working with parents/caregivers and their infants. The PCI Feeding Scale training will not only teach you how to use this assessment tool, but you’ll also learn a cohesive set of observable behaviors that will change your view of parent-infant relationships.
