Description:
The Pyramid Model provides the framework for understanding children’s social-emotional development and how professionals and practitioners support families. The three tiers of the Pyramid Model include Promotion, Prevention, and Intervention and understanding how children’s social-emotional skills can be strengthened and their families empowered in each tier benefits all early intervention providers. During this workshop, practitioners develop knowledge of family systems theory and core concepts of social-emotional development including co-regulation, attachment, behavior, and understanding grief and trauma. This workshop allows participants to ask questions, engage collaboratively, and further their knowledge of social-emotional practices in early intervention.
Navigating Substance Use in the Home Setting
Early intervention (EI) and home visiting professionals may encounter suspected or confirmed substance use and substance use disorders when providing services in the home setting. Therefore, it is essential that EI and home visiting professionals understand the evidence-base related to substance use, substance use disorders, and partnering with families when there is substance use in the home.
