Looking at Diversity Training Description: To fully support infants, children, and families it is necessary to intentionally address diversity, trauma, and resilience. Participants of this training will begin by viewing the documentary, Resilience, which will set the stage to discuss the multiple effects of trauma and how trauma is passed down inter-generationally.  Through this trauma informed lens, the Diversity-Informed Infant Mental Health Tenets will be discussed.  Participants will be encouraged to participate in activities and discussion in small groups as they examine how their lens affects their work of supporting pregnant and parenting women, their families, and their infants.
