  Tuesday, January 13, 2026

  Virtual Event

  1:00-3:00pm  Presentation and Discussion

  Registration is limited to 100 participants.

  Description:  Pregnancy and the birth of a child are significant markers in the life of not only the developing baby but the parents and family as well. This includes thinking about the “imagined child” (the prospective parent dreams about) and the actual baby that comes into their life, as well as the imagined parent (how they dream about and anticipate they will parent) and the development of the actual parental identity. Explore and consider key concepts around development, identity, and issues surrounding complicated pregnancies, prematurity, and loss.

  This session will include a 30 minute overview of policy implications and considerations related to the session topic and discussion with national policy leaders at the National Center for Children in Poverty.

  Session 2:  Neuro-relational Development

  Tuesday, February 3, 2026

  Virtual Event

  1:00-3:00pm  Presentation and Discussion

  REGISTER 

  Registration is limited to 100 participants.

  Description: A child’s brain undergoes an amazing period of development from birth to three—producing more than a million neural connections each second. Delve into key concepts such as the brain as a “social organ,” emotional exchange through “serve & return,” and the “schema-of-being-with”, as they relate to neural development. Examine how the limbic system and executive functioning are mediated and buffered within the context of relationships in infancy and early childhood.

  This session will include a 30 minute overview of policy implications and considerations related to the session topic and discussion with national policy leaders at the National Center for Children in Poverty.
