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.

2012 Audioconference Series

Foundations and First Impressions: The Initial Home Visit | Airing February 29 from 2:00 - 3:30pm EST

Visiting a family in their home helps staff learn about, celebrate and support the people who are most important to the infant, toddler or baby-on-the-way. These visits also foster important staff-family relationships that nurture growth and positive outcomes. But families and staff may be unsure of what to expect in an initial home visit. In this audioconference, faculty will address the opportunities and potential challenges of the first home visit a staff member makes with a family, and offer strategies to help staff use that visit as a foundation for future services and support. Register by February 24, 2012.
