Audioconferences
The EHS NRC conducts national audioconferences each year. An audioconference is a telephone conference call which features expert faculty and EHS and MSHS program representatives on select topics related to HS program services for expectant families and infants, toddlers and their families. Participants listen to discussion among the panelists, and can pose questions for the speakers over the telephone. Supplemental materials are developed for each audioconference.
2009 Audioconference Series
The audioconferences in this two-part series will address homelessness, how it affects expectant families and infants, toddlers, and their famlies, and how programs can respond.
