Readers will learn how to:
- Prepare an organization for change
- Assess risks to relational health

This book embodies the authors’ call for interdisciplinary collaboration, presented as a dynamic dialogue between two experts. They share their firsthand experiences of transforming their own practice, openly discussing both the challenges and successes they encountered.
A growing body of research highlights that early relational health is crucial in fostering resilience in children. It acts as a buffer against the effects of trauma and adversity, preventing toxic stress from developing. This hands-on guide illustrates how to:
