This free program will introduce you to the interactions, relationships and environments that lay the foundation for healthy brain development. It will provide you with an increased awareness, knowledge and understanding of the foundational concepts of neuroscience, including how positive development in the early years sets children up for a lifetime of learning, health and wellbeing.
There will be opportunities to explore neuroplasticity, the impacts of stress and trauma on brain development, and the important role of ‘serve and return’ interactions and executive functioning in supporting a child’s wellbeing. There will be information on strategic framing, best practice and ‘what works’ examples to improve children’s mental health, development and wellbeing in your work context.
