Building Stronger Families in Kent County!

Thanks to First Steps Kent and the Ready By Five Millage

Infants and children who experience chronic stress or trauma are four times more likely to develop a mental health disorder by the time they reach adulthood than children who did not experience emotional trauma in childhood. Without recognizing and treating for trauma children are at increased risk for physical and emotional development concerns. This is why Easterseals MORC is implementing a comprehensive infant and early childhood mental health program for children, ages 0 to 6 years, who have experienced chronic stress or trauma.
