THE SCIENCE.
In collaboration with communities, Dr. Barbara Burns developed Resilient Families Parent Education Programs across more than 30 years of work as a developmental psychologist and early intervention specialist.
​
Our programs leverage the power of scientific research of early child development, neurobiology, and resilience to empower families to help their children build a more peaceful heart and strong and flexible mind.
​
Programs are designed to promote psychological strengths that can buffer the impact of adversity, trauma and poverty on young children's healthy development.
“I feel that everything that I have learned here has helped me in order to love myself and to be more positive in everything.
I know that I can keep moving forward.”
