Join us for a powerful progression on our path of reflection, providing an opportunity to reconnect with the insights that ground and inspire our work in early childhood.
In our last Virtual Member Event, we began this journey together with a reflective exploration of the voices of Michael Yellow Bird and Dixon Chibanda and offered a sneak peek at Dr. Ghosh Ippen’s plenary. Now, we invite you to experience her complete talk, expanding those insights and continuing the conversation about how reflection deepens our practice, strengthens connection, and fosters resilience across the early childhood field.
With warmth, humor, and humility, Dr. Ghosh Ippen, renowned early childhood trauma therapist, researcher, and co-developer of Child-Parent Psychotherapy, reflects on lessons learned over more than 30 years in the field. She invites us to imagine: What wisdom would you share with your younger self? What guidance still grounds your work today? Through her stories and research, she weaves together insights from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, the Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) field, and her own experiences to offer guidance that continues to inspire and sustain.
Whether you joined our last Virtual Member Event for a preview, attended the LEARN Conference live, or are joining for the first time, this full rebroadcast offers a meaningful opportunity to pause, reconnect, and deepen your reflective practice.
