ECE 225B: Supporting Kentucky Strengthening Families -Social Connections (1 hr)

This course is a follow-up to ECE 125 Introduction to the Kentucky Strengthening Families Initiative. You must complete that course before beginning this one. This course will focus on implementing the Protective Factor of Social Connections within any setting that serves young children and their families. Families who have positive social connections seek timely assistance from people they have learned to “count on” and are empowered to give back through satisfying, mutually beneficial relationships. Supportive social connections help buffer families from stressors and support nurturing parenting skills that promote secure attachments in young children.
