This webinar, the first session in the Workforce Well-Being and Resilience learning series, focuses on the importance of embracing brain science awareness in our work settings. We explore the neurobiology of stress, distress and trauma, the arousal continuum, and strategies for practicing daily regulation activities at work and building a brain friendly culture that leads to resilience and success.

This webinar will highlight the work of Children & Families First (CFF). This multi-service organization has been supporting children and families across Delaware for decades, forging strong relationships with schools and other community partners to offer a wide array of services. Learn how CCF is applying brain science and trauma-informed leadership practices to build resilience within their organization and community partners.

During this webinar, participants will learn about Family Resource Centers (FRCs), a key community-based prevention strategy utilized in 37 states and the District of Columbia. Presenters, including members of Hartford, Connecticut’s Parent Engagement Group, will introduce the framework and protective factors that FRCs help families build and discuss the role protective factors can play in parents’ lives.

Experienced librarians and other Social Current staff and partners with subject matter expertise provide professionals in the nonprofit social services sector with timely and useful information solutions.
