MultiCare Behavioral Health Salon Series:

Focus on Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health

Thu, July 14, 2022
12:00 PM – 12:45 PM PDT

When adults are going through stressful and traumatic experiences, there are often babies and young children nearby, who are witnessing and experiencing these same stresses. Join us in thinking about young children’s social-emotional needs and ways to respond in ways that help them feel safe, loved, and protected.
