About this Event

This presentation is in connection with First 5 Mendocino's State of the Child training series. It will be an interactive & inspiring event for professionals in Mendocino County, held on Wednesday September 23, 2026 from 8:00am until 4:00pm at the Ukiah Valley Conference Center.

OBJECTIVES:

• Understand why working with a child’s whole brain is necessary.
• Learn the important tools for working with children to build healthy brain development.
• Learn to nurture healthy connections and process trauma through whole-brain strategies.

From pregnancy to age 5, the most important thing for optimal development is the power of positive relationships. We are a community of many connections and great resilience. This conference will be about how we work with kids and understanding the whole brain approach!
