Supporting Parenting Capacity in Families Recently Arriving
Release date: November 6, 2024 61 minutes
In order to survive the circumstances they fled and their journey to the United States, families who have recently arrived have had to rely on their extraordinary strength and courage as well as their passionate aspirations for their babies and young children. Yet these experiences, as well as those as they adjust to their new settings, can disrupt their ways of parenting. Exposure to new cultures, values, and beliefs about children – and their development, health, and learning – can be both hope inspiring and confusing. This webinar will explore the ways in which the immigration journey can undermine parenting, the strengths that parents bring, and approaches that home visitors can use to support parenting capacity.
Recently Arriving Families, Core Stressors, & the Social Determinants of Health & Mental Health
Release date: October 30, 2024 59 minutes
Families arriving in the U.S. from around the globe bring with them the strengths of their diversity and their determination to reach safety, freedom, and opportunity. They also bring with them a wide range of needs that may have accumulated in their home countries driving them to leave, while on their journey, and once they’ve arrived. Home visitors know their communities’ resources and how to connect families to them and can provide vital supports for families new to our neighborhoods. Join us to find out more about these families’ strengths and aspirations, and the social determinants of health and mental health that home visitors can help these families face so that they can recover, heal, and, eventually, flourish.
Joining Recently Arriving Families Where They Are
Release date: Oct 9, 2024 60 minutes
A home visitor supervisor, an attorney, and a clinical psychologist will share their work with recently arriving families and what these families have experienced in their home countries, on their journey and upon arrival in the U.S. These three experts will tell us how they join them wherever they are to help them find their path through the roadblocks they face now, building on the extraordinary strengths they have relied on to make their way toward hope.
