CSKT’s Project LAUNCH to host Brazelton Touchpoints training
PABLO — Brazelton Touchpoints Individual Level Training, hosted by CSKT Project LAUNCH Program, will take place Wednesday-Friday, Sept. 6-8, at 36122 Second Street,
North Pablo. Joelfré Grant and Heidi Roibal will facilitate.
Brazelton Touchpoints is a practical approach for building strong family-child relationships from before birth through the earliest years, laying the vital foundation for children’s early learning and healthy development.
This training supports professionals in forming strength-based partnership with families. Touchpoints offers opportunities for providers to support parents in understanding their child’s behavior and strengths leading to a stronger emotional bond, which is critical to a child’s development.
Professionals receive three days of interactive and learner-centered training followed by six months of reflective practice to apply their learning to the everyday interactions with families.
The Brazelton Touchpoints Center collaborates with providers, organizations, institutions, systems of care, and communities who understand that to improve outcomes for children, they must engage more effectively with families. To reach as many families and other caregivers as possible, we work with health and education providers who partner with families during children’s most formative years.
