Presented by Dana Winters, PhD
Faculty and Academic Director | Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children’s Media at Saint Vincent College
It is sometimes difficult to imagine how small and ordinary moments fit within the complex challenges around us, yet such moments are the most essential building blocks of a healthy community. Finding meaningful ways to understand, appreciate, and promote such moments can be encouraging, enriching, and empowering at every level of a human services system. At the foundation of every person’s healthy development is the power of human connection and we will explore the power we have to build connections and contribute to the positive development of those around us.
