Please join Citizens’ Committee for Children and the Healthy Minds, Healthy Kids Campaign for a panel discussing innovative opportunities to support the healthy development and social and emotional wellbeing of infants and toddlers in New York.
The first few years of life are a crucial time for a child’s physical health and social and emotional development. Too often, however, families face significant barriers accessing services and supports for young children. These types of services have become even more vital in the aftermath of COVID-19, which has fundamentally disrupted access to screenings and services and heightened stressors for young children and their caregivers.
Early identification and intervention are key to ensuring children get a healthy start to life, are school ready, and have their developmental and mental health needs addressed during this critical window of brain growth. Our speakers will explore a new analysis of child development and school readiness indicators and discuss innovative interventions that engage families in strengths-based approaches to young children’s growth and development. Through discussion, panelists will also identify steps that the city and state leaders can take to bring promising practices to scale.
