The University of Wyoming Early Childhood Outreach Network

Focus:

As members of families and communities, young children experience life-changing transitions right along with the adults in their lives. Some examples of life transitions include moving, marriage, divorce, death, a new job, or the birth of a sibling. Young children require responsive adult support to make sense of these experiences. Participants will learn about the impact of life-changing transitions on children’s development and will discuss ideas that support healthy responses and resiliency. Principles of trauma informed care will be embedded throughout. Families and early childhood professionals are encouraged to attend.
