Early childhood is a critical time period for establishing the solid foundations essential for children’s long term health, well being, and academic success. Child health screening has many benefits. It provides families with opportunities to learn about child health and development, as well as information on and access to programs and services. It also promotes early identification of potential and ongoing health concerns, enabling planned interventions and strategies, which include referrals to appropriate professionals. A specific new integrated partnership model of child and family health and supports to comprehensive infant, early years and family health will be discussed. Needs and opportunities around the specific components of community health care access and immunization, child development, support for communication and literacy, nutrition, sleep needs, dental care, vision assessment with a focus on access to financial resources and benefits will be discussed.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences - What does it tell us? Now what?
Dr. Jean M. Clinton<http://en.beststart.org/2017-BSRC-Conference-Speakers#Jean>, BMus MD FRCP(C), Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences, McMaster University
The adverse childhood experience studies strengthened the concerns we have about the experiences in children’s’ lives. Can we use this information to change our approach to children’s well-being and how can we support families and communities to do this?
Supporting Early Child Development: A Life-Course Perspective on Health, Wellness and Success
Dr. Paul Roumeliotis<http://en.beststart.org/2017-BSRC-Conference-Speakers#Paul>, Pediatrician and Medical Officer of Health, Eastern Ontario Health Unit
This session will discuss the new science about the development of very important traits such as vision, stress hormone control, cognitive function, and self-control that occur mostly during the first few years of life. During this period of rapid brain growth and wiring, external factors such as stress and neglect can adversely affect this development. Conversely, TLC, constant stimulation and responsiveness to babies can enhance these processes favorably. We now know that adverse events during this period do not only lead to behavioral problems, but indeed can lead to physical disease decades later. In this context, supporting the first few years of a child’s development and the social/family environment is a new paradigm for mental illness and chronic disease prevention as well as for optimizing one’s potential over the life course.
Welcoming Newcomers: Meeting the Needs of Immigrant Children and Families (1.5 R-CERPS, 1.5 CAPPA Contact Hours)
Dr. Judith A. Colbert<http://en.beststart.org/2017-BSRC-Conference-Speakers#Colbert>, author, Welcoming Newcomer Children and Child Health Across Cultures
Young newcomers, especially young refugees, have distinctive needs arising from their settlement experience. This session will provide a framework for addressing the complexity of their needs by providing baseline understandings of settlement and culture, and moving on to consider specific differences between newcomers and “mainstream” children related to cultural practices, mental and physical health, family settlement, and coping and social awareness. It will suggest strategies for supporting newcomer children and parents in ways that remove barriers to successful settlement. Overall goals for the session include to provide participants with an increased ability to identify settlement issues, and recognize, understand and respond to the needs of newcomer children and their families. Participants will have opportunities to raise issues from their own practice and benefit from discussion with others. Based on the issues raised, particular attention is likely to be paid to the needs of recently arrived refugee children.
