SUMMARY:ROCK Mat-Su Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Join R.O.C.K. Mat‑Su for an expert-led webinar series\ndesigned to help Family Contact Facilitators and\nallied professionals understand children and youth mental health and support positive family contact.

Each session offers practical tools you can use to create safer\, more supportive reunification\nexperiences for children and families. \nINDICATORS OF INFANT STRESS\nAPRIL 23\, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 PM\nInfant mental health is foundational to safe and effective family contact\, yet signs of infant stress can be subtle and easily overlooked. This session will\nhelp facilitators identify the cues infants use to communicate overwhelm\, distress\, or dysregulation during interactions with caregivers. Participants will learn about variations in attachment behaviors\, how insecure attachment may influence infants’ reactions during family contact\, and how to support both infants and caregivers when distress arises.  \nPresenter: Laura River\, PhD — Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Assistant\nProfessor\, University of Denver; Director of the Caring for You and Baby\n(CUB) Clinic.  \nClick here to register: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fudenver.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_CSymNZBwR_6L7_K-Yv1GIw%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExeWRQdHhOQnRFdHNjWFhWZXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6zJ1fFgT7-Mmrjxi0VqzoqHOJEd10L75Sl9_p3ho7aWHQW49qrIkoRG7NQOw_aem_GaVX5KP_6uFpic5uFDaKcA%23%2Fregistration&h=AT4Ik-iAMU0wg9CVy0y2lUBEXC4qKTes2i1Yod1X5fuP_OjUKuzRWvEwAl9nY8JGA_BDT-eXOYqLaic-m3jIPNR9pdsCLhEv1RLhznvGo3gGVqrP5BFo1vGylzgy_eyE03wGumWr8HuF8o3b&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT54O3T0f11xj2J_T5lZX6jf4Ku5MkM-4J1wNeGgXadMRBjSlnIqwrg9DQKzwBEXMm-Lj5IdsFLgtEc4HOePqsxTaw25yuyW1pkNKSMEsZ4R5zPEEqOg8-0hKmwVlVqXkpgIDNwMBMnnaSIJl7sYlFpG6BeIFz9zG3w
