Free webinar: Developing a Family Resource Center

Webinar: “Developing a Family Resource Center to Promote Healthy Child Development and School Readiness”

Early childhood care and education in the first few years of a child’s life have a long-lasting impact on a child’s development. However, low-income immigrant parents and caregivers with low-English proficiency face many barriers when navigating the health care system and are less likely to access early childhood development and education services. Community based, culturally competent approaches are key to promote healthy child development and school readiness. “Steps to a Right Start (STARS): Developing a Family Resource Center to Promote Healthy Child Development and School Readiness” will show how one AAPCHO member community health center worked to improve early identification of parental developmental concerns and provided child development education for Asian American patients’ parents and caregivers. Daisy Tsao and Shao-Chee Sim will highlight strategies and lessons learned from Charles B. Wang Community Health Center’s (CBWCHC) Steps to a Right Start: Developing a Family Resource Center to Promote Healthy Child Development and School Readiness project.

The webinar will be on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 4:00-5:00pm EST.
