About this Event

Welcome to the 2024 Nashville Early Childhood Education Conference! "Ignite! Purpose and Intention" occurs July 23 - 26, 2024. All sessions are free and open to all.

Join us via Zoom for the following great conference webinar, "Bringing HOPE and Resiliency: Building up Parents through the building blocks of HOPE," presented by Ashley Jasinski and Stacey Broyles of State of TN-DMHSAS Regional Intervention Program (RIP).

To understand the importance of experience in child development, including those ACEs associated with toxic stress, and shifting the focus to positive experiences allows children to form strong relationships and meaningful connections, cultivate positive self-image and self-worth, experience a sense of belonging, and build skills to cope with stress in healthy ways. The same is true for the parents! In this training explore how you can be a ‘player of change’ by building resiliency and creating hope through Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE), with the families at your school to ultimately not only build up parents but build rapport and create resiliency for the entire family.

1.5-hours of TN DHS credit is available upon completion of a reflection form. All Ignite! conference sessions fall under the umbrella of the United Way of Greater Nashville for TN DHS credit.
