Please join us to explore this important topic with Christina Bethell, PhD, MPH, MBA from Johns Hopkins University. 

We are fortunate to live in a time where our best science reveals our power to promote early and lifelong flourishing even amid adversity by fostering positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and building relational systems of care across health care, education, social services, business and community-based programs. This session will synthesize the science of flourishing and positive childhood experiences and discuss concrete evidence, models, tools and practices that build on existing health, education, social services and community based strengths and resources to prioritize the “through any door” promotion of flourishing and PCEs as a critical population health strategy. 

Participants of this webinar will be able to:

• Explain the flourishing paradigm and identify opportunities to promote flourishing of children and youth even amid the adversities they face 
• Understand the science and paradox of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) to both mitigate impacts of adverse childhood experiences as well as promote healthy development and flourishing 
• Identify opportunities to build on the existing strengths of child and family services professionals and service systems to promote the “Through Any Door” relational systems of care needed to take PCEs and child flourishing to scale.

This webinar is for all of those working in the perinatal period as well as children birth to 5 and their families.
