Date: Monday, March 13, 2017 Time: 3:00-4:00 pm Eastern Description:The focus of this webinar is on how recent and past events of racial dehumanization of Black and Brown people and children have left parents struggling with how to raise children in such an hostile public environment. The stress of parenting boys and young men of color requires a racial literacy or the ability to read, recast, and resolve racially stressful encounters for youth and the parents. This webinar will illuminate the research on the emotional costs of racial dehumanization on health, identify strategies for parents, educators, and youth to counter that dehumanization, and demonstrate how children influence adults through their struggles, triumphs and questions about racial politics. Dr. Howard Stevenson, Constance Clayton Professor of Urban Education and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, will present: "Disrupting Racial Dehumanization: Bidirectional Conversations with Babies, Boys, and Men about Racism." Dr. Diane Hughes, Professor of Applied Psychology at the New York University Steinhardt School of Culture, Development, and Education, will present: "Intentional Parenting for Racial Equity and Justice." This webinar is adapted from a session at the 2016 SRCD Special Topic Meeting on Babies, Boys, and Men of Color. Click here to register. Title: The Potential of Universal Strategies – Innovative Ways to Reach the Most Vulnerable Children
Date: Wednesday, February 15, 2017 Time: 3:00 to 4:00 PM Eastern Time Description: While targeted prevention services such as early home visiting for pregnant women and new parents have achieved notable success, such programs continue to experience high dropout rates and an inability to successfully engage those facing the greatest challenges. Beyond these implementation challenges, targeted programs, which require that families be identified as having certain deficits either economic or personal, can be stigmatizing. The very families one hopes to engage in such efforts may refuse participation for fear of being labeled as being inadequate parents. This webinar will discuss the limitations of current prevention efforts and outline ways in which more universal platforms in structuring our practice, policy and research agendas can improve outcomes for all children. This webinar will feature a presentation by Dr. Deborah Daro, Senior Research Fellow at Chapin Hall. Click here to register.
