Emotionally Responsive Practice as a Foundation for Learning:
A Conference on Supporting Children’s and Adults’ Well-Being in a Changing World
Friday, December 5, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET
Online
In times of uncertainty, children look to us—not for perfect answers, but for presence, attunement, and safety. When the world feels unpredictable, emotionally responsive practice becomes the bridge that connects children’s inner lives to their capacity to learn, grow, and flourish.
This year’s conference will bring together teachers, social workers, and all who support young children and families. Together we will reflect on:
- ERP as a foundation for both clinical and educational practice—supporting children’s mental health while guiding daily teaching and caregiving.
- Ways to hold children and adults through uncertainty—whether navigating global crises, natural disasters, family stress, or school transitions.
- Parallel process in action—caring for the caregivers as we care for children.
Through reflective dialogue and practical tools, we will honor the healing power of relationships, explore the complexity of “being with,” and renew our commitment to fostering classrooms and communities where children feel safe to learn, play, and hope.
CTLE’s and CEUs for social workers will be available.
We hope you’ll join us and bring your voice to this important conversation.
Registration available soon.
