Supporting Family Economic Well-Being with Brain Science Informed Strategies

Release date: Sept 11, 2024 61 minutes

Parenting and providing for a family is challenging in the best of situations. Economic hardship can make parenting even more complex. It puts the parent in the position of juggling responsibilities and meeting needs with too few resources. The stress from poverty impacts our brain’s cognitive capacity and initiates our flight, fight, or freeze mode. During this webinar we will review the brain science of the impact of stress from poverty and share proven strategies to help families strengthen their economic well-being in the home visiting setting.
