“Parent Engagement through Touchpoints” is a learning collaborative on the Touchpoints approach, an evidence-based model linked to building strong family-child relationships from prenatal through age 5. Participants who implement Touchpoints in their practice partner with families to lay the vital foundation for children’s early learning and healthy development. Touchpoints provides a practical, preventative approach that supports professionals in forming strengths-based partnerships with families. This learning collaborative centers on reflection and cultural humility to support infant/early childhood mental health, early learning, and development. In addition to 6 virtual training sessions, this training includes 6 1-hour bi-weekly virtual reflection sessions after the training sessions. Attendance at all 4 hour sessions and 4/6 1 hour virtual reflection sessions is required for training completion & to receive a training certificate.
