Responding to signs of child abuse and neglect is crucial —but research now allows us to start even earlier in keeping children safe and families strong. By recognizing and responding to early signs of stress, early childhood and child welfare staff can help families get the kind of support that help prevent abuse and neglect. This training will help participants get in touch with their own stress and help them recognize early signs of family stress, thus gaining a better understanding between stress and inappropriate behaviors. Strategies to manage stress will also be explored.
