Developmental Touchpoints:
Strengthening Connections with Families
Casey Ferrara
Meeting Street
This session will review the framework of the Brazelton Touchpoints model. It will review parent perspectives on early development, parenting principles, and how these can be applied in our work with families. This framework offers strategies to engage families, open conversation, and strengthen connections with families in their time of need.
This is especially critical in these stressful and uncertain times.

Presenters will go over racial and ethnic disparities data for Rhode Island’s children and provide an overview of the RIght from the Start Advocacy Campaign to improve state policies and budgets that will help to address these disparities.
We celebrate RIAIMH's accomplishments, our connections and our role as advocates.
We learn how we can be BIG VOICES for babies.
