To kick off Celebrate Babies Week, ACNJ hosted the webinar "Pandemic Stress: Supporting Young Children, Families, and the Early Childhood Workforce". This webinar featured a special presentation from Dr. Walter Gilliam from Yale University Child Study Center on his recent research on the impact of the pandemic on young children, their families and child care providers. Following the presentation, voices from the early childhood field joined a panel discussion to talk about the Social-Emotional Formation Initiative (SEFI), which provides mental health consultation to early childhood programs to support staff, young children and their families.
