Session #2: Boosting Resilience: Identifying and Supporting Protective and Resiliency Factors
Tuesday, March 22, 2022, 12:00-1:30pm CT
• All children can benefit from consistent support and nurturing. Early childhood provides both one of the most vulnerable
and one of the most malleable periods of development. This session will focus on the concepts of resilience and
protective factors for young children. It will include how to identify formal supports and services that can be augmented
and sustained by informal supports. The session also will discuss some trends nationwide in supporting the development
of young children affected by trauma, substance use, and other risk factors, as well as trends in local needs.
