Something new is coming. 🌊

We're launching 'Supporting the Whole Child' — an ECHO-like Training Series where pediatric providers, educators, carers, and Telehealth ROCKS' partners come together to connect brain health, systems, and practice.

Because every child is raised within systems — and every system can do better.

🔎 Kicking off April 8 at 9:00 AM CT: A WSCC Framework for Practice and Collaboration. Featuring Eve-Lynn Nelson (Child Psychologist, Telehealth ROCKS Executive Director) and Laurie Krom (Education Specialist, Telehealth ROCKS Training & Quality Improvement Director).
💡 Explore how brain health, environment, and practice intersect — and what to expect from this interactive, case-based series.

Free to attend on Zoom.
📅 2nd Wednesday of each month at 9 AM CT
📅 Last Thursday of each month at 12 PM CT
