  1. Promoting Community Systems of Care to Foster Young Children’s Social and Emotional DevelopmentJune 24, 2014

  2. WELCOME! • Introductions • What brought you here today? • What are you most excited about learning? • Is there someone you are hoping to make a connection with while you are here?

  3. The Core Story 1 - Child development is the foundation of prosperous communities 2 - Brains are built over time, from the bottom up (skill begets skill) 3 - Genes and experiences together build brains (serve and return relationships) 4 - Cognitive, social and emotion development are inextricably intertwined 5 - Toxic stress damages brain architecture 6 - Resilience is not an internal character strength, but rather is built through combined impact of genes and experiences of a child 7 - For many functions, the brain’s capacity for change decreases over time (cost-effectiveness factor) - but not all P.Levitt, 2013

  4. The Challenge • Social and emotional development is foundational, and impacted by internal and external forces • Early traumatic experiences are common • In Wisconsin (2010) • 4,839 child victims of maltreatment • Represents 3.7 children per 1,000 children in the State WI Department of Children and Families, Wisconsin Child Abuse and Neglect Report, 2011

  5. The Challenge: Child Maltreatment U.S. Dept. Health and Human Services, 2010

  6. The Challenge: Childhood Mental Illness • >14 million children and adolescents in the US (1 in 5) with a diagnosable mental health disorder • Only 20-25% of affected children receive treatment or support US DHHS Surgeon General’s Report (1999); AACAP Committee on Health care Access and Economics, Pediatrics (2009) reference

  7. Community System of Care • What is a community system of care? • Members • Families • Professionals

  8. Today’s Goals • Consider what it means as a community to work together on fostering young children’s social and emotional development • Develop an ongoing base for growth in this area

  9. Learning Objectives • Learn about the importance of monitoring young children’s social and emotional development • Discuss impact of toxic stress on children’s development, and the role of trauma-informed care in mitigating the effects of trauma and toxic stress in children

  10. Learning Objectives • Identify resources available to support professionals in promoting • Social and emotional development in all children • The early identification of those with behavioral health needs • Effective intervention and care coordination for those with established mental health challenges

  11. Learning Objectives • Prioritize professional self-care and colleague support • Identify other community members working to support children and define concrete strategies to connect with one another to develop community systems of care

  12. Guiding Principles • Child and family focus • Healing occurs in supportive relationships • Professionals must care for themselves and support one another in order to care for others • Shared responsibility across professionals sectors is essential • Children receive support according to their level of need, as offered by a spectrum of care within the community

  13. Spectrum of Care: Pyramid Model for Supporting Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children

  14. Spectrum of Care: Pyramid Model for Supporting Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children Intensive Intervention Targeted Social and Emotional Supports Early Identification of Children with Social and Emotional Challenges Social and Emotional Development Promotion for All Children

  15. For Consideration • Where are you in the spectrum of care? • Who are your community partners in the other parts of this spectrum? • How successful are your efforts to connect with other community partners on this spectrum? • How might this connection be improved?

  16. What is Social and Emotional Development? From a working definition developed by Zero To Three : National Center for Infants, Toddler and Families – Infant Mental Health Task Force The developing capacity of a young child to: • Experience, regulate and express emotion • Form close and secure interpersonal relationships • Explore the environment and learn All within the context of family, community and cultural expectations for young children

  17. Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Develops through relationships with parents and other caregivers. • Is fostered through nurturing and supportive relationships. • Teaches the child that she/he has an impact on her/his environment.

  20. “There is no such thing as a baby, there is a baby and someone else…” -D.W. Winnicott

  21. Think of a child you know who is socially/emotionally skilled. What does that look like? Think of a child who struggles and is hard to reach. What does that look like? Social and Emotional Skills

  22. Social Emotional Competence • Trust • Self-Confidence • Motivation • Persistence • Self-Control

  23. Stress Impacts Social and Emotional Development

  24. Stress Responses in Childhood AAP, Helping Foster and Adoptive Families Cope with Trauma, 2013

  25. Three Levels of Stress Positive Brief increases in heart rate, mild elevations in stress hormone levels. Tolerable Serious, temporary stress responses, buffered by supportive relationships. Toxic Prolonged activation of stress response systems in the absence of protective relationships.

  26. Some Stressors in Childhood AAP, Helping Foster and Adoptive Families Cope with Trauma, 2013

  27. Other Factors Influencing Stress AAP, Helping Foster and Adoptive Families Cope with Trauma, 2013

  28. Traumatic Alterations • Experience • Epigenetic modifications • Changes in brain structure and function • Behavioral attempts to cope • May be maladaptive in other contexts AAP, Helping Foster and Adoptive Families Cope with Trauma, 2013

  29. Epigenetic Changes • Alterations in the way the genetic program is read • Can cause structural changes in developing brain • Can influence the stress response

  30. Disruptions in Brain Architecture with Toxic Stress Three important brain structures: Amgydala Hippocampus Frontal cortex Prefrontal Cortex

  31. The Impact of Early Adversity on Children's Development

  32. Disrupted Brain Architecture Can Influence Behavior Behavior changes seen in young children Additional behavior changes seen in older children, adolescents and young adults

  33. Maladaptive Behavior Can Be Misleading • Potential misdiagnoses • ADHD • ODD • Bipolar Behavior worked previously, continues to result in some gain

  34. Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs) • ACEs (before age of 18) • Physical abuse • Emotional abuse • Sexual abuse • Alcohol and/or drug abuser in household • Incarcerated family member • Household member chronically depressed, mentally ill, institutionalized or suicidal • Violence between adults in the home • Parental separation or divorce • Original study (1995-97) • WI Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (2010)

  39.
